ON THIS DAY FACTS - 3rd April
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY - April 3rd On this day in history in 1043, Edward the Confessor , son of Ethelred the constantly Unready, was crowed King of England. He was called the Confessor due to his ability to extract a confession from a hedgehog using nothing but a toothbrush, some mouthwash, and a Simply Red album. Or, because he lived a saintly life. But mainly because of his hedgehog-torturing techniques. In fact, about 100 years after he died, he was canonised by Pope Alexander III in an ancient ceremony of digging up his rotting corpse and shooting him out of a cannon. Yep, pretty sure that's how they made someone a saint back then. He was adopted as the Patron Saint of England, until a total git came along and killed a dragon. Sheesh, I hate that George bloke. Killing dragons should never be rewarded. Check out: Fun Facts About Edward the Confessor On this day in history in 1924, Mar...
