Gross Tuesday No: 9 Royalty


Well here we are at another hot Tuesday, and of course is gross facts day, don't we all just love gross facts.......lol

This weeks facts are hopefully not as gross as last weeks facts. We have this week some gross facts about royalty. I will do this in two parts with 6 facts each week

English King Henry VIII had a groom of the stool, a man who wiped his bottom for him

English King Henry II had a jester called Roland the Farter who would fart on demand

To keep guests entertained at a feast, Roman emperor Caligula would behead criminals in between courses.

When his sister died Caligula was so upset he banned people laughing, people caught laughing would be put to death, he also banned them from taking a bath.

Louis XIV of France only took three baths in his lifetime.

In 1762, Korean Prince Sado was locked in a rice chest by his father, he died after eight days.
