I love that everyone is angry throughout, except Henry, who smiles beatifically because he knows he is winner.

King Stephen was an absolute fool! He once gave Henry II (Matilda's son) money to get into England, under the guise that he was visiting his mumsy. Little did Stephen know Henry would launch a battle against him. Oh, and Steve's son, Eustace, choked to death on a piece of eel... and Henry I, Matilda's father, shat himself to death due to complications with eels. I love history, I really do!

Not to forget about Matilda's mother, who also was called Matilda, though she was born with the name Edith as daughter to the king of Scotland and later chose the name Matilda because it was more familiar to the Normans than her anglo-saxon name. Oh, and also Matilda's paternal grandmother was called Matilda (of Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror). And Matilda (wife of Stephen) was also a cousin of Empress Matilda, since the mothers of both Matildas were sisters. The mother of Empress Matilda was called Edith(-Matilda) of Scotland and the mother of Queen Matilda was called Mary (for god's sake not Matilda! :D) of Scotland.

Matilda was also the great-great-granddaughter of Edmund Ironside, making her the first descendant of the House of Wessex to make a bid for the throne since the Norman conquest

I love how unhinged he looks when he sings "Think you'll get it back? Now that I'd like to see!"

yes it was the reason the civil war was restarted, a lot of the english nobles started to get annoyed at Matilda because she was ruling as a man would, they didn't want a woman telling them what to do. Steven's wife however was doing pretty much the same thing though which is what's so amusing about the whole thing. But since she was doing it on behalf of her husband then it's acceptable to let her act like a man.

Larry's got such a great singing voice

Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, and Benny Andersson were the members the famous Swedish pop band from the 1970's ABBA. They are the people the historical characters in this video seem to be representing. Stephen and Henry are obviously representing Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson respectively because Stephen is portrayed as beardless and playing his sword as if it were a guitar just as Bjorn did, and Henry is portrayed as bearded and playing the table as if it were a piano just like Benny. As for the two Matildas, it's probably safe to associate Stephen's wife Matilda with Anni-Frid Lyngstad because she is portrayed as a brunette just as Anni-Frid was(though she did dye her hair red often), and Henry's mother Matilda may very well be blonde because it'd help contrast between the two Matildas. Plus Henry's mother Empress Matilda's actress is blonde like Agnetha Faltskog.

Time for my mate, King Henry Eight, to take up this song: Henry Three built the abbey Ed One hated Scots A red-hot poker killed Ed Two That must have hurt him lots Ed III was a chivalry nerd Began the Hundred Years War Then Richard Two was king aged ten Then Henry- yes, one more! King Henry Four, plots galore Not least from Henry Five- moi Killed ten score at Agincourt Then Henry Six arrived! Edward Four, Edward Five, Richard III, he's bad 'Cause he fought wars with Henry Seven First Tudor and my dad So Henry Eight- I was great Six wives, two were beheaded Edward VI came next But he died young and so my dreaded... Daughter Mary ruled so scary Then along came- Me! I'm Liz the First I had no kids So Tudors RIP... William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, HEY! Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Richard, three more Henrys join our song! Edward, Edward, Rich III, Henry, Henry, Edward then Mary One, good Queen Bess! That's me, time for more men James Six of Scotland next As English James I he led Then Stuarts ruled, so Charles I The one who lost his head No monarchy until came me Charles Two, I liked to party!
