What's an Eel?

When King Henry died, a noble called Stephen claimed the throne. Matilda was furious and invaded England to crown her as Queen. But she upset everyone when she acted like a queen by telling them what to do. She released Stephen in a swapsie for her half-brother - which meant he carried on being king. The lesson from this history story time? Don't eat an eel. And life wasn't fair 800 years ago.
