Join Horrible Histories for this fun song that takes us through the British Kings and Queens that have reigned, from William the Conqueror to King Charles III.
I’m William the Conqueror, my enemies stood no chance
They call me the first English king although I come from France
1066, the Domesday Book, I gave to history
So fat on death my body burst, but enough about me
To help remember all your kings I’ve come up with this song
A simple rhyming ditty for you all to sing along… Ohhhhh
William…
William second, cheeks were red
Killed out hunting, so it’s said
I took over - Henry One
That’s my next eldest son
Then King Stephen - it’s true, check it
Hi, Henry Two: killed Thomas Becket
Richard Lionheart - that’s right -
Always spoiling for a fight
Oh, King John. What a disaster!
Rule restrained by Magna Carta
William, William, Henry, Steven,
Henry, Richard, John - Oi!
Time for my mate King Henry Eight
To take up this song…
Henry Three built the Abbey, Ed One hated Scots
A red hot poker killed Ed Two, that must have hurt him lots
Edward Third was a chivalry nerd, began the Hundred Years War
Then Richard Two was king aged ten, then Henry - yes, one more
King Henry Four, plots galore, not least from Henry Five - moi!
I killed ten score at Agincourt, then Henry Six arrived -
Edward Four, Edward Five, Richard the Third - he’s bad
Cos he fought wars with Henry Seven, first Tudor and my dad
So, Henry Eight, I was great. Six wives, two were beheaded
Edward the Sixth came next, but he died young and so my dreaded
Daughter Mary ruled - so scary - then along came…
Me!
I’m Liz the First, I had no kids, so Tudors RIP
William, William, Henry, Steven,
Henry, Richard, John - Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich Two then
Three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the Third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary One! Good Queen Bess!
That’s me! Time for more men …
James Six of Scotland next - as English James the First he led
Then Stuarts ruled - so Charles the First. The one who lost his head
No monarchy until came me - Charles Two, I liked to party
King Jimmy Two, was scary - ooh - then Mary was a smarty
She ruled with Bill, their shoes were filled by sourpuss Queen Anne Gloria
And so from then, you were ruled by men
Til along came me, Victoria
William, William, Henry, Steven,
Henry, Richard, John - Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich Two then
Three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the Third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary One! Good Queen Bess!
Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then…
Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria
Still to come it’s Queen Victoria
And so began the Hanover gang, George One and George Two
- grim.
Then George the Third was quite absurd -
-til I replaced old him
King George the Fourth, and known henceforth as angry, fat and cross
Hang on!
It’s true you beat Napoleon, but were mostly a dead loss
Bang on
William four was a sailor -
Ahoy!
It’s nearly the end of the story - a
As onto the scene comes the best loved queen - hail to Victoria!
William, William, Henry, Steven,
Henry, Richard, John - Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich Two then
Three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the Third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary One! Good Queen Bess!
Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then…
Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria
George, George, George, George, Will, Victoria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria!
Ed Seven, George Five, Ed Eight, George Six,
Liz Two then reigned - and how
And so our famous monarch song
Is brought right up to now
Ohhhh….
William, William, Henry, Steven,
Henry, Richard, John - Oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich Two then
Three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the Third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary One! Good Queen Bess!
Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then…
Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria
George, George, George, George, Will, Victoria
Edward, George, Edward, George Six
And Queen Liz Two completes the mix
Not quite. Now there’s me, Charles Three.
That’s all the English Kings and Queens
Since William First that there have been
