This is like when people make shit up like Shakespeare actually being a super rich nobleman because a commoner (not that his background was completely dirt poor) couldn't possibly have written those plays.
Imagine being upset by learning a weird history fact. I remember love reading history books as a kid and finding out that Kings would just fall off horses and die. Makes it feel real.
There was an Earl called Edward de Vere who has possibly one of the funniest stories in terms of "royal courts" I think I've ever heard.
"This Earl of Oxford, making of his low obeisance to Queen Elizabeth, happened to let a Fart, at which he was so abashed and ashamed that he went to Travel [for] 7 years. On his return the Queen welcomed him home, and said, 'My Lord, I had forgot the Fart'."
God, what a bore.
