William IV reigned from 1830 to 1837. The reign was short because William was getting on a bit in years when he ascended - 69 yrs old. His brother - George IV - had some bad luck. He married a 'commoner' (not of the Royal family) behind his fathers back, but the marriage was declared illegal and his father forced him into an arranged marriage. When he saw how ugly the bride was and smelled her (she had a habit of not washing) he declared "I am not well, pray get me a glass of brandy." The hapless fellow spent his wedding night lying on the floor in front of the fire, drunk as a lord.

So - we aren't even in the same event - I'm in the typo Olympics! We can both take Gold!

Neil

Reminds of a BLACKADDER episode where he was to marry some "darling" from Spain. She was such a troll that poor Baldrick had to carry the night. LOL
