Fact of the Day: Royal Oak Tree
When the English monarchy was abolished (for a time) after the reign of Charles I, his son (the eventual King Charles II) was pursued by Oliver Cromwell's forces in England's Civil War. He managed to evade them by hiding in an oak tree.

Charles II was quite a tall fellow so it must have been a big tree. Very Interesting.

Those big old oaks sure come in handy!
I'm wondering how he did that...Did he climb up on the branches, or was there an opening in the trunk? Either way, that's impressive.
Happy weekend.

the old oak tree
Either he was a little guy...or that was one big ass tree.
Like completely in the tree or up in the branches?
