Lol, I see you had some fun with these. :)
LOL! I need to give this one a try.
It would be a hard choice between Edward and figs...
Some of them are quite appropriate, aren't they?? :) I've been wandering around proclaiming "I love Edward II more than figs"!
Great stuff. Are sure Hugh Despenser was referring to Edward's throne?
*giggles* Maybe he was sitting on Edward's lap, on his throne. ;)
Now, there's an image. :)
