By 'frame' story do you mean, I assume you mean like an outline of what happens?\nWell basically somehow this English guy ends up back into the 15th Century, in King Arthur's Court. And he describes how Medieval they are.  For he is speaking is the "Queens English" were they are all talking "Old English" with 'where for art thou' language.  ONe unforgettable instance, is his meetings with Merlin.  He describes the wizard to somewhat of a con-artist, wowing the masses with simple magic tricks.  And there is 'battle of magicians' between them.  The English man predicts an eclipse (which he has known of previously) and dares Merlin to reverse his spell, which Merlin is of course unable.  The english man is then made into a kind of knight, and we see him take a wife and live out his life in this 'backward' world.  He even helps in a big battle at the end, in which he brings in battlefield tactics from the future.

Edward I (June 17, 1239–July 7, 1307), popularly known as "Longshanks" because of his 6 foot 2 inch (1.88 m) frame and the "Hammer of the Scots" (his tombstone, in Latin, read, Hic est Edwardvs Primus Scottorum Malleus, "Here lies Edward I, Hammer of the Scots"), achieved fame as the monarch who conquered Wales and who kept Scotland under English domination during his lifetime. He reigned from 1272 to 1307, ascending the throne of England on November 21, 1272 after the death of his father, King Henry III of England. His mother was Queen consort Eleanor of Provence

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England and Lord of Ireland (later King of Ireland) from 22 April 1509 until his death. He was the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty, succeeding his father, Henry VII. He is famous for having been married six times and for wielding the most untrammelled power of any British monarch. Notable events during his reign included the break with Rome and the subsequent establishment of the independent Church of England, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the union of England and Wales.\n\nSeveral significant pieces of legislation were enacted during Henry VIII's reign. They included the several Acts which severed the English Church from the Roman Catholic Church and established Henry as the supreme head of the Church in England, the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542 (which united England and Wales into one nation), the Buggery Act 1533, the first anti-sodomy enactment in England; and the Witchcraft Act 1542, which punished 'invoking or conjuring an evil spirit' with death.\n\nHenry VIII is known to have been an avid gambler and dice player. He excelled at sport, especially royal tennis, during his youth. He was also an accomplished musician, author, and poet; according to legend, he wrote the popular folk song Greensleeves, along with the lesser-known Pastyme With Good Company (The Kynges Ballade). Henry VIII was also involved in the construction-from-scratch and improvement of several significant buildings, including Nonsuch Palace, King's College Chapel and Westminster Abbey - the existing buildings improved were often properties confiscated from Wolsey (such as Christ Church, Oxford, Hampton Court Palace and palace of Whitehall).

I think you would first have to choose some days that you think changed the path of the world.  Something like, JFK's assasination, the defeat Hitlers regime, the invention of the wheel, the destuction of Pompeii, etc...

Do you know the one that starts out something like:\n'For want of a nail, a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe, a horse was lost...'\nIt's talking about a particular king of England who was very meticilous about his battle preparations, down to making sure that every horse had a good shoe on every foot.\n\nOr how about:\n'Georgie Porgie pudding and pie\nKissed the girls and  made them cry....'\nThis one is refering to a certain British duke, George Villiars, who was had an affair with the Queen of France, which hurt England and France's relationship, but the king protected him because of George's affair with him. Kinda gross, huh?\n\nOr Jack and Jill? King Louis the XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette of France who both got beheaded.\n\n'Mary, Mary* quite contrary,\nHow does your garden** grow\nWith silver bells and cockle shells***\nAnd pretty maids all in a row'****\n*Mary Tudor of England, aka, Bloody Mary\n**Graveyards full of Protestant martyrs\n***Instruments of tortue\n****Guillotines\n\nFor more, visit the link below

Known as the Empress Matilda because of her first marriage to the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry V (1102-1167, "Reigned" Feb -Nov 1141).\n\n"Domina" or "Lady of the English".\n\nThere were several Matildas around at this time!  (Her mother was also a Matilda.)\n\nMatilda had been promised the throne, so she was furious and frustrated when her cousin Stephen moved in smartly and had himself crowned instead.  For virtually all of his reign Matilda struggled to assert her rights and for eight months or so in 1141 she was to all intents and purposes the Queen of England, being given the title "Domina" or "Lady of the English".\n\nHowever, she was never crowned, and was so domineering and arrogant that she lost much of the goodwill she might have otherwise had.  Eventually, after a lengthy, hectic and unsuccessful campaign, she left England for good, presumably in despair and disgust.

I agree with you.  It was her religion and her love for Henry the Eight that kept her going.  She always felt he would come back to her.  Henry did treat her very bad.  All that just to get a male heir to succeed him.

I think you might be looking for Westminster Abbey. \n\nBurials and Memorials\nHenry III rebuilt the Abbey in honour of the Royal Saint Edward the Confessor whose memorial and relics were placed in the Sanctuary. Henry III was buried nearby as were the Plantagenet kings of England, their wives and relatives. Subsequently, most Kings and Queens of England were buried here. Although Henry VIII and Charles I are buried at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, as are all monarchs and royals since George II.\n\nAristocrats were buried in side chapels and monks and people associated with the Abbey were buried in the Cloisters and other areas. One of these was Geoffrey Chaucer, who was buried here as he had apartments in the Abbey as he was employed as master of the Kings Works. Other poets were buried around Chaucer in what became known as Poets' Corner. Abbey musicians such as Henry Purcell were also buried in their place of work. Subsequently it became an honour to be buried or memorialised here. The practice spread from aristocrats and poets to generals, admirals, politicians, scientists, doctors, etc., etc. These include:\n\nBuried\n\nNave\n*Clement Attlee, 1st Earl Attlee\n*Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts\n*Charles Darwin\n*Paul Dirac\n*James Clerk Maxwell\n*J.J.
