will do Fiona x

I wonder if they'll mainly be concentrating on the Great Plague, the Great Fire of London, and the Anglo-Dutch War.

Let me know.

LOL Fiona I was jus reading about him thankfully I won't be delivering the lesson jus assistin and I think they 13 yr olds in that group (year 8)

Charles II was a 'bit of a lad' to put it mildly. I think the term 'Merry Monarch' probably refers more to that than anything else. Although perhaps his social life needs to bowdlerized a bit before you share it with a class of 10 years olds...

I don't blame yu Rose his ideals were far too extreme even for us English lol my Irish roots dictate part Catholic and part protestant and I saw 1st hand what Cromwell did in Ely Catherdral to sway me but 24 years his head on a pole then shoved up a chimney lol perhaps it was karma x

Speaking as someone with an Irish background, Cromwell deserved it lol...oddly enough some of his children are buried in the same cemetery as my ancestors....

exactly Susan, why would anyone want to punish someone who had been dead for two years? What could it possibly achieve? Was he a fraidy cat? He was king of England, but why do that surely the people would think him weird. Mind yu by the time Cromwell's head had been on that pole 24 years was nearly time for James II to take the throne x

Wot? Susan

he was supposed to be the merry monarch and come bk and release the good folk of England from the bondage they endured under the reign of the Cromwells. A bit weird if yu ask me diggin up a dead geezer to punish him, then forget he was punishing him.
