Facts of the Day

1. Edward I wasn't crowned for two years after he became king because he was off on crusade.

2. I'm only a couple of inches taller than the average medieval Englishwoman.

3. A knight was killed at the coronation of Edward II after the collapse of a wall.

All from Michael Prestwich Plantagenet England (Oxford, 2005)
