Kemp's joke was a location pun, playing on the fact that the noblemen they were talking about are all of place names! I thought it was mildly amusing, then again my sense of humor is a bit warped! Henry VIII did not execute all his wives, only two of them, Anne Boleyn (his second wife) and Catherine Howard (his 5th wife). The rest were divorced and one survived him! There is an old rhyme about it ''Divorced, Beheaded and Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived! I could go on about him and his wives all day but its important to know in the context of this episode that Henry divorced his first wife, Catherine of Aragon (a devout Spanish Catholic and mother of the future Queen Mary (Bloody Mary for her fervent persecution and burning of Protestants) because she couldn't produce a male heir for him! The Church refused to grant the divorce and Henry broke England away from the Church, he was excommunicated and the Church of England was born with him as the head of the spiritual head of the church! Elizabeth I, Henry's daughter by Anne Boleyn and who as you know is ruling at this time in Upstart Crow, is a Protestant and therefore the pendulum has squarely turned against those of the Catholic faith! A Papist is an old term for a Catholic, i.e. somebody who follows the Pope! Its usually derogatory and really only used by Protestants! Those are the same actors for the children I think, they just got a bit older! The conversation about wanting their countries back was a Brexit joke! The joke about nobody wanting to watch a drama about any of the Tudors is a reference to both the popular show of the same name and probably the relatively large amount of films and tv shows about them in general! Greensleeves is a famous song, erroneously attributed to Henry VIII, in fact probably the most famous song of the Tudor era! You've heard it before in Blackadder season 2 (the Bob episode) , albeit with parody lyrics! Douai is in northern France and was a base for English Catholic exiles, rebels, spies and sympathisers! The play referenced in this episode is Henry IV (Part 2), Kit's line to Will's dad being lifted directly from it! The Muslim joke is funny because the Sunni's and Shiites have been warring with and persecuting each other for centuries! They are no less cantankerous than Catholics and Protestants were in Will's time! They didn't need ''stirring up'' but its an obvious reference to the geopolitical situation involving the West and Islamic world! So its basically another terrorism joke! I appreciate you sticking with it Josh, even if you're missing a lot of the jokes! Again, a bit of knowledge of the era and Shakespearian drama would go a long way but I don't expect you to read about it if its not your thing! Maybe a documentary or two would be better for you! Great reaction, can't wait for the next one!
