A bi-weekly show exploring the greatest, worst, and craziest rulers throughout human history. How did a man trick his way into becoming a Russian Czar? Did Caligula actually wage war against the ocean? Was Alexander really that Great? Get your answers and learn about some lesser known rulers who you might learn to love or love to hate.
In this special episode of Royally Screwed, we're taking a look at the lives of two men who are behind the names of two foods I enjoy greatly: the Duke of Wellington and the Earl Grey, who lent their names to Beef Wellington and Earl Grey Tea. You may be surprised that these two men were actually very closely connected, as each was a Prime Minister of the UK in the 19th century. But why was food (well, one food and one drink) named after them?

Well, the guy probably didn't exist. Nonetheless, there are historical events and family trees that try to tie themselves to Bjorn, so we might as well take a look at them to see if there's any history to the legends.
