the fire alarm needs new batteries
so every few seconds it squeaks.
It must not bug me to much because I have been listening to it all day since early morning

Edward IV's daughter married Henry Tudor, who himself had a flimsy claim to the throne. So flimsy, that his son, Henry VIII, went on a rampage against all remaining Plantagenets who were closer to the throne than himself. But the one who started it all, William the Conqueror, was himself illegitimate and so technically, the entire royal family is a fraud. But, he who wins the battles gets all the marbles and gets to write the history. Interesting stuff, though.
It's interesting to find your post today, Gráinne:
Friends and I, lately here at home, sometimes find ourselves
speculating on English royalty. Just the other day, when I was
at the library, I came across Bringing Up Bodies (Hilary Mantel, 2012).
What a facinating account it is, so far (have you read this book?)!
Thanks for the video, too!
