Kings, fools and scoundrels – Part 2 (First part published yesterday)
Seeing his young grandson deeply engrossed in his studies, the late King George V of England stopped to see what was interesting the child
And who are you studying about now? He asked, giving the youngster a friendly pat on the head.
About Peter Warbeck, was the reply
And who was he?
Oh answered the boy, he is just someone who pretended he was the son of a King. But he was not really, he was the son of respectable parents.

Roman Emperor Caligula’s Laugh!
Suetonius relates how at a royal feast the Roman emperor Caligula suddenly burst out in uproarious laughter. He laughed and laughed, and the rest of the company, in order to be polite and to save their lives, laughed with him.
The fun smitten host at length fell back in his chair exhausted, and a guest near his chair respect fully inquired the reason for his merriment.
The jovial monarch with a wave of his fat hand over the crowded banquet hall , replied

When Charles V retired in weariness from the greatest throe in the world to the solitude of the monastery at Yuste, he occupied his leisure for some weeks in trying to regulate two clocks. It proved very difficult.
One day it is recorded, he turned to his assistant and said, “To think that I attempted to force the reason and conscience of thousands of men into one mould, and I cannot make two clocks agree!”
