    I think it’s close to this, but it’s shoes. Four horseshoes for the king on his horse, two shoes on the ordinary man’s feet, and the beggar barefoot

          It’s a little known fact that the number following a monarchs name, is actually the number of shoes they wear…

          Honestly, if it wasn’t for all of the royal inbreeding, we probably would have run into a scenario where we have two George IV’s or something like that, so thank god they kept it in the respective families all these years.
