Richard the III sentences

[psocoptera]

Saw a friend in a play, which was not only fun, but also led to some Learning of History. Why can I never remember the "Henry Four Five Six, then who? Edward Four Five" bit of the rhyme? I'm just never sure whether it's Henrys or Edwards after Dick Two. But maybe I'll remember now that I know more about who some of those people were.

The mnemonic I learned for that was "Howard Hughes Hates Electric Eels", for Henry Henry Henry Edward Edward. After Richard I it's "John Henry Eats Electric Eels", for, perhaps obviously, John Henry Edward Edward Edward.
