And why, when using those affected British accents, did they feel that Elizabethan royalty probably spoke with the same accent used by uptight twentieth century British twits?
Half the time the royal spouses were imports from Spain or Germany, and to the extent they came from anywhere in those islands, the Tudors and Stuarts had more Scottish than Twit blood.
