So you know Henry VIII had six wives, but did you know that he was the first person to own a pair of football boots? Or did you know that Napoleon was scared of cats, or that Shakespeare invented the knock-knock joke?
Join Paul Wreyford – author of 'When Henry VIII Came to Dinner' – to discover more quirky facts in a FUN history lesson, and test your own knowledge via a not-very-serious quiz.
(Not suitable for dull and dreary academics!)
