My lack of concentration. Let me show you it.

King John lost the crown jewels in the wash. All right, The Wash. But he lost them. In a marsh. They fell in the marsh and were not found

Yes, exactly!

It's only slightly more incompetant than what actually happened, too...

Oh, John.

I did Medieval History A-level and they kept trying to get us to answer questions about whether John deserved his reputation as Worst King Ever, because surely not...

Except that in this instance revisionist history does not work, and is made of fail, because John was the Worst King Ever. It transpired.

I always snicker uncontrollably whenever anyone mentions the loss of the crown jewels. In the wash (because you're right, it's so much funnier without capitals).

Most incompetent king ever, yes. At least, that I've heard of.
