Is this nursery rhyme related to King Edward I?
It is said that a political satire said to refer to the "Plantagent" King Edward I , who is known as "the master", and the export tax imposed in Britian in 1275. The English Customs Statue authorised the king to collect taxes on all exports on wool in every port of the country. So, is this nursery rhyme related to King Edward? The answer is... YES!
