Silly Searches 1
Here are some funny searches that have hit my blog in the past. Apologies if any are from you out there - but no offence is intended (you should see some of the strange stuff I've put into Google in the past!).
when did death by quartering end?
Usually when the person was dead - which was probably a bit before the quartering if the usual processes were followed!
dad and servant lady
Just what sort of site do you think this is? There again, maybe it was meant to refer to Hugh the elder and an unknown dalliance with a washer-woman.
torture hugh despencer
Now, really, that is just not nice. What did he ever do to you?
tutivillus heights
Sounds like a prime medieval housing location!
what does a lady's job in the middle ages do in preparation for the king
That depends on what the lady's 'job' entailed. But if it was that sort of a job then she wouldn't have been much of a lady! There again, perhaps she was just wanting to iron his underpants (OK, OK, I know they didn't have underpants)!
what sort of punishment is drawing?
That depends on whether you like still life or not.
what happened to chepstow castle
I don't know, it was still there the last time I looked.
hugh despenser penis
Oh here we go again (yawn) Oh the strange obsession with Hugh's genitals, . Now if only I had a pound...
king of power2
What Edward II would have liked to have been known as.
self defence abh
Wasn't that what Hugh claimed when he attacked John de Ros?
roman reused
?????????
lady d memory
Now either this refers to my ability to recall things - which as anyone who knows me will tell you is rather unpredictable, or else I'm supposed to be dead. Personally I prefer the former.
why did the yorkist win the battle of tewkesbury
Why did the chicken cross the road? Come on, where's the punch line?
most dreadful forms of execution
Obviously should include drawing (see above). I'm sure whatever method was used was dreadful to the person it was being used on!
what did hanging drawing and quartering symbolise
Ummm.... death?
caerphilly castle scaffolding
Yes, it's b****y annoying, isn't it? Especially when you want to get a good photo of the castle. I can't see why anyone would want to Google it though *shrugs*
