How Did Edward the Longshanks Get the Idea?

A lot of people think that where tokin got the idea is from the old beacon system. It dates all the way back to the plantagenet kings. I don't know if it ever got used back then'm sure that's goglable, but i don't know. What i do know is that it got used in 15 88, when elizabeth was queen,. They lit these beacon and the spanish armada attacked twice. And so if i understand correctly, it hasn't been used since then for anything that matters, but for ceremonial purposes. Ik tha, maybe it's the millennium or a new monarch or whatever, these things get lit again. You're smiling at me
