Wholesome Context: By 1200 it had become customary for the city of Gloucester to send the English monarch a pie each year, and King John fined the city 40 marks or £26 13s 4d (equivalent to £40,000 in 2021) for failing to send a pie at Christmas. That tradition stopped in 1836 - partly due to the fact lampreys are now an endagered species in the UK - but last year Gloucester sent Queen Elizabeth II a pie to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. The city now only sends pies to the monarch on special occasions. •Consider following @hothistorymemes and also the Backup @hothistorymemes2 for more historymemes •If you have a problem with my memes please let me know •Partners: @yourhistoryplug byzantinememelibrary @historicallyhistory @templar.mp4 @french.empireball @historymemes_content •Source: https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/gloucester-give-lamprey-pie-king-8003538 •Credit: u/Gollums-Crusty-Sock •Tags: #historymemes #history #memes #facts #ww1memes #ww2memes #dankmemes #ww1 #ww2 #politicalmemes #memesdaily
