King Henry II's Hilarious Holiday Tradition - Paperback

by Robyn Itule (Author)

King Henry II ruled England from 1154-1189 C.E. He spent a lot of that time doing very serious things like fighting to keep his crown and making laws.

But even a hard-working king needs a good, hard laugh every now and again. Henry was so impressed by the unique talents of a man history remembers as Roland the Farter that the king asked Roland to perform for the royal court every Christmas.

You can have a good hard laugh, too, as you learn about the medieval world and the surprisingly long history of professional farting.
