"Silly Billy" was the nickname of the husband of Mary, daughter of English King George III. The Dutch King Willem II was likely a bisexual who was black mailed, and - in his youth - he was involved in schemes to become King of France. He hadn't a likeable character, but I don't think he was silly.Joan Boshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055926341623988772noreply@blogger.com
