A tragic king and a jaw-dropping mistake

On December 6th, 1421, the future King Henry VI was born. His was a sad life, stalked by tragedy and mental illness, ending in murder. There is not much else to say. R.I.P, Henry.
I really enjoyed the responses to my Christmas song post yesterday. It is nice to know that I am not alone in my obsession! I forgot to mention the worst offense of all, though. I don’t even know the title of this song, but it commits an unpardonable sin. It turns Christmas into a verb! So the singer warbles on about “Christmasing with you” and I can only shudder every time it invades my space.
The world lost a gifted music-maker yesterday with the death of the jazz great, Dave Brubeck. And below is an unbelievable story from France in which an 18th century chateau was bull-dozed by mistake! Now I am about to plunge into the next chapter, but once Richard humiliates Philippe yet again, I will re-surface. These defeats he is inflicting upon the French king will not end the war, but Richard is enjoying them enormously. Philippe, not so much.
