    George Villiers, 1st duke of Duke of Buckingham had liaisons/affairs with both King James I and Queen Anne of France. His notoriety was such that a rhyme was made up about him, which subsequently became a nursery rhyme. Which one was it?

    The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things. ;)

    It's funny how I know so many stories thanks to Hollywood, but haven't really read any of the books. Always on my to do list, probably will never get to the end of that list anyway. :( I'm not around because (a) internet keeps dropping (b) am baking and (c) a million other things to do too!
