England chooses new Court Jester
 | It took 355 years, but England has finally replaced Muckle John as Court Jester. Muckle John was Jester to the Court of King Charles I, but lost his job when Charles lost his head at the hands of Cromwell. After England's brief flirtation with republicanism, the monarchy was restored, but no new Jester was chosen - until now. CTV.ca has more. |
