Le roi Dagobert

Interessante

While waiting at A&E after Cath we saw this sign in la salle d’attente.

A quick Google tells me that Roi Dagobert was king of all the Franks in the 600s and the last king of the Merovinginian dynasty to wield any real power.

King of the wedgies

But unfortunately for Dagobert he is maybe now best known for a nursery rhyme about wearing his pants back to front : Le roi Dagobert a mis sa culotte à l’envers.

I guess if you died in 639 but still feature on Covid posters in A&E in 2022 that’s a legacy of sorts.
