In 1642, King Charles I broke into the House of Commons with armed men to arrest five of it's members. After all was said and done, the House overruled Charles I that he had no right to do so. After that a tradition started that no monarch may step foot in the House of Commons. Which stands to this day.
WOW, who knew royalty could be overruled?

ReplyDeleteSounds good to me, the so called royalty idiots should mind their own business.
ReplyDeleteThat really is a cool story.
ReplyDeleteWas he the Charles who was executed and replaced by Cromwell?
Or am I thinking of someone else?
It's so hard to keep all my Charles' straight.
yes he was. Oliver Cromwell was not a fan.
DeleteNice slippers, though. Apparently, he was the 17th Century's version of Hugh Hefner.
