From 1377 onwards the king's falconry birds were kept in the King's Mews at Charing Cross. The name remained when it became the royal stables starting in 1537 during the reign of King Henry VIII.[1] It was demolished in the early 19th century and Trafalgar Square was built on the site. The present Royal Mews was then built in the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The stables of St James's Palace, which occupied the site where Lancaster House was later built, were also referred to as the "Royal Mews" on occasion, including on John Rocque's 1740s map of London.
that was from Wikipedia... Of course we know England has a history over 1000 years old, but how is it I can walk into a museum in Spain and easily read texts written in Spanish 600 years ago but noone can read any English texts before the so called English renaissance of literature around the time of the mighty Shakespeare? Try reading like the only book available before this "renaissance", the Canterbury tales by Chaucer. You can't even read it, it's not even real English, just garble.
How can the so-called western "universities" be so indescribably lame and without answers to this important mystery: how did the English language come about?
