King Of... was a television comedy talk show made by Big Talk Productions for Channel 4. It was first broadcast on 17 June 2011 and was hosted by Claudia Winkleman. The show featured two celebrity guests per episode and a studio audience. The guests discussed what is the 'king of' various categories.
On 24 June 2011, Channel 4 announced that King Of... was to be cut short due to Winkleman's pregnancy. The final 2 episodes, with Ruby Wax & Johnny Vegas and Billie Piper, were not recorded.
Aragon (/ˈærəɡɒn/ or /ˈærəɡən/, Spanish and Aragonese: Aragón [aɾaˈɣon], Catalan: Aragó [əɾəˈɣo] or [aɾaˈɣo]) is an autonomous community in Spain, coextensive with the medieval Kingdom of Aragon. Located in northeastern Spain, the Aragonese autonomous community comprises three provinces (from north to south): Huesca, Zaragoza, and Teruel. Its capital is Zaragoza (also called Saragossa in English). The current Statute of Autonomy declares Aragon a nationality of Spain.
Aragon's northern province of Huesca borders France and is positioned in the middle of the Pyrenees. Within Spain, the community is flanked by Catalonia to the east, Valencia and Castile–La Mancha to the south, and Castile and León, La Rioja, and Navarre to the west.
Covering an area of 47,719 km2 (18,424 sq mi), the region's terrain ranges diversely from permanent glaciers to verdant valleys, rich pasture lands and orchards, through to the arid steppe plains of the central lowlands. Aragon is home to many rivers—most notably, the river Ebro, Spain's largest river in volume, which runs west-east across the entire region through the province of Zaragoza. It is also home to the Aneto, the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.
There have been many monarchs with the name "Henry". The years shown below are the regnal years.
This refers to a much disputed line of kings that have in one way or another dominated Germany since the time of Charlemagne.
James VI and I (19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death. The kingdoms of Scotland and England were individual sovereign states, with their own parliaments, judiciary, and laws, though both were ruled by James in personal union.
James was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and a great-great-grandson of Henry VII, King of England and Lord of Ireland (through both his parents), uniquely positioning him to eventually accede to all three thrones. James succeeded to the Scottish throne at the age of thirteen months, after his mother Mary was compelled to abdicate in his favour. Four different regents governed during his minority, which ended officially in 1578, though he did not gain full control of his government until 1583. In 1603, he succeeded the last Tudor monarch of England and Ireland, Elizabeth I, who died without issue. He continued to reign in all three kingdoms for 22 years, a period known as the Jacobean era after him, until his death in 1625 at the age of 58. After the Union of the Crowns, he based himself in England (the largest of the three realms) from 1603, only returning to Scotland once in 1617, and styled himself "King of Great Britain and Ireland". He was a major advocate of a single parliament for England and Scotland. In his reign, the Plantation of Ulster and British colonisation of the Americas began.
Catherine of Aragon (Castilian: Catalina; also spelled Katherine, 16 December 1485 – 7 January 1536) was the Queen of England from June 1509 until May 1533 as the first wife of King Henry VIII; she was previously Princess of Wales as the wife of his elder brother Arthur.
The daughter of Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, Catherine was three years old when she was betrothed to Prince Arthur, heir apparent to the English throne. They married in 1501, and Arthur died five months later. In 1507, she held the position of ambassador for the Spanish Court in England, becoming the first female ambassador in European history. Catherine subsequently married Arthur's younger brother, the recently succeeded Henry VIII, in 1509. For six months in 1513, she served as regent of England while Henry VIII was in France. During that time the English won the Battle of Flodden, an event in which Catherine played an important part.

Morning, the pale light embraced his face
His thoughts slowly returned from
a dreams confusing maze
He saw himself holding a scale
it was trembling in his hand
at one end was his kingdom, at the other a lonley man
Confused, betrayed by friends
Pleading justice, must break or bend
Some priests had formed a vicious plan
to convert all the Jews
a rabbi were to defending faith
persecution needs excuse
He met a man with integrity, different from anyone
he knew
It seemed so absurd to punish him for the crime
of being a Jew
they talked until the daybreak so much seemed to
make sense
How could religion be a capital offence
He gave him the right to defend his faith
But he couldn't sense that he was safe
The priests wasn't interested in truth that you could
measure
they gave their orders to the king and kept him
under pressure
The queen of Aragon, once so young and full of life
now she's turning colder for every day that she's been
his wife
Her new lovers name is power and her passion
is to manipulate
She tries to keep her sanity by holding on to her faith
So hard to keep the faith, that makes her full of hate
Delia blessed by gods, nursed by angels
makes him feel like rocking on a cloud
she could ease all his troubles, cool him down
when he's drunk and loud
She's the only one who really loves the king
Looking beyond the weight of his crown
undisturbed by reality, she's singing like a child
and he's falling asleep to the sound
In the morning of the disputation
a hurricane was breaking the shoreline
the bishop and the queen was conspiring
When discussion began Abraham was speaking
with passion and precision
The appointed priest was retiring
Afterwards you could hear the silence
they were waiting for an act of violence
To save Abrahams life, the king had to be clever
he sentenced him to leave Aragon forever
Sons of Adam, why do you keep fighting
the ghettos in Poland, why do you keep fighting
Auschwitz, Sobibor, why do you keep fighting
Children of Israel keep fighting
