#he king

I'm sure almost every Purple fan wondered about Blackmore's strange fascination with castles, knights and medievalism overall. RITCHIE WHY??? Why disgracing the legend parading around in ridiculous tights?

Now we finally know the answer!! (very likely)

I almost accidentally made a discovery that our Black Knight is a direct descendant of British royals such as William the Conqueror and Henry Beauclerc.

In fact, that means we can name Richard the Lionheart Ritchie's distant uncle🔥😏

🔥Here you got here the whole lineage of Ritchie down to Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire. Of course you can check it on many genealogical websites:🔥

(Keep in mind that there are only 7 female ancestors! (in the old days that mattered))

I was dazed and confused when I found out the truth about Ritchie, but maybe his odd interests and character come from this😂

Also don't forget that name 'Richard' means 'strong in rule' 😂

Cursed photo of Ritchie for you as a bonus💗💓💖
