I'm very fond of the commentary bit that David Mitchell says about this, how he's talking about the one particular king that, in his history teacher's mind, "was hated not so much for his homosexuality as for his failure to properly dispense peerage". That means the sketch is meaningful and teaches you stuff!

[@tufty1990]

Patrick Phelan Did David confirm which king he was talking about? I get the impression it's Edward II maybe? It's a bit hard to tell for certain because obviously they've hyped it up for comic effect

[@sevensulivin4903]

William II was gay.

[@Frogkhan915]

Definitely Edward II even though they composite stuff in the sketch

[@djclawson]

@@Frogkhan915 It's Edward II and Piers Gaveston, who was murdered by nobles who were supper annoyed with him.

What's funny is how accurate this was. This kind of thing actually happened.

[@seamusfinnerty5897]

i like how its very clearly supposed to be england but they have a massive spanish crest in the back.

[@RagnarPDX]

This is far better than the next one in the skit.

Well, maybe except for the part at the end where they actually resolve the whole thing sensibly ;)
