Plantagenet History Now

The city of Angers, which spawned a significant portion of the Plantagenet dynastic line, has demanded England's crown jewels in recompense for the death of England's Edward IV.

No.  Really.

When history comes alive in the present - it can be simultaneously hilarious and bewildering.

(The article states that Shakespeare made the Plantagenet name famous.  Because Geoffrey and his sprig in the hat - and a centuries-long line of monarchs - still left them in obscurity.  Apparently.  Erm.  I guess if they can definitively declare who killed the princes (erm again ...), they can assert that too.)
