King Stephen Vs Matilda (My Class History Project) Lyrics

King Henry was a man whose dad ruled the land

Before he died then his brother William

Took over and was crowned the king of England

He fell sick and died and that's where we begin

Henry was king had to kids

One was William the other Matilda

William was next to be king and

Little Matilda was his older sister

Tragedy struck and William died

After that Henry never smiled

But then he was bent on the fact that the crown should always remain on his family's side

He had a nephew though

A boy named Stephen helped him grow

Gave him the things that the boy could have never imagined that's how far he'd go

Then one day before Henry died

He called all the Barons to his side

And made them swear that his daughter Matilda will be crowned the Queen of the English side

But then in history what we find

Is the fact that they were a crafty kind

Crowned Stephen king and said king Henry on his death bed changed his mind

'Twas recorded in history

That Matilda was a meany

As for Stephen

He was calm, laid back and easy

The Barons they completely

Betrayed king Henry and quickly

Turned around, gave the throne to his nephew

How sneaky

How sneaky

'Twas recorded in history

Is the fact that they were a crafty kind

How sneaky

They completely betrayed King henry and quickly

'Twas recorded in history

How sneaky

Turned around, gave the throne to his nephew

How sneaky
