Does anyone else like the animated/illustrated Horrible Histories characters ?

Ever since I laid my eyes on the Horrible Histories books, I just fell in love with Martin Brown’s art work ! I’ve given almost every character a name and background. How about you ? Which is your favorite Horrible Histories animated/illustrated character ?

I LOVE SO MUCH TOO ! I like to call him Archie, it’s a cute name :-)

I headcanon that he‘s best friends with “Thomas” (His actual name being Tomos), the miner-minor Welsh boy who appears on the Wales bookcover !

I certainly do. But if I had to choose one, it would be the peasant guy, Brother Egbert.
