King Henry IX was the first hippy king of the modern period. He lasted thirteen hours on the throne before deciding to move to the south of France and live out his remaining days planting trees. Although his reign was short lived he was the most progressive monarch ever and created an incredible three hundred thousand laws. Some of the most interesting are listed for the sake of prosperity in the Life and Times of King Henry IX a Wenton Geneological Study (currently unpublished).
The following is an extract from that study.
1. Mangos are banned except for Royal Weddings and lunar eclipses.
2. Frdplip is to be no longer recognised as a word and all evidence of its existence is to be destroyed.
3. March 15th is now a day of mystery.
4. The institution of a new masochistic past time called jogging is to be forced upon the insane and deranged.
5. August 32nd is banned.
6. Throw all the frogs into the tower and send the orphan spawn to Belgium.
7. Once a year on a Tuesday people shall eat pancakes.
8. Once a year the clocks shall be set back one hour.
9. Once a year the clocks shall be set forward one hour.
10. The number / is banned as it is ridiculous we shall now go from 9 straight to 10.
