"That was Alan joke of the day".

Yes, France was a monarchy at the time of the American Revolution, and
while the UK had a Parliament, at the time it was essentially an

No, by then we'd publicly decapitated two kings who thought that their
rule was absolute: the lesson had sunk in by then.

Two? Who was the other one?
