The way she knew GOT lore just as well as medieval history made this even better

A queen who not only divorced her husband, but got quickly remarried and had several sons, among them the famous Richard Lionheart, but she also lived to 80yrs old!? That's a lifetime achievement award!

Hmm wow. I always thought the whole "KNIGGET" pronunciation of knight was just a monty python joke
