@lady_of_the_mercians: This is just a theory - was popular in the 1950s (which is when the book I found this in is from). #warsoftheroses #richardiii #medievaltiktok #nurseryrhymes #etymology

I heard that it was one of the first cannons. Used by a Scottish King at some battle, it exploded and there was no expertise to fix it.

I'd heard he was Canon during the ECW and fell off a wall. I think Gloucester
