I certainly enjoyed this article. I especially enjoyed reading that the wives of Henry VIII got some justice, even if it was only in mock courts!

I thought that was a really neat story about Henry VIII's mock divorce trial, too. Interesting note: The judges did rule against his fifth wife, Katherine Howard, denying her a divorce, because she cheated on Henry.

King George III was also put on trial by the American Bar Assocation in London last summer. He was charged with ruining an American merchant's business by giving the East India Company an illegal monopoly on tea, but it ended in a hung jury.
