	Duke of York - Uncyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It was known that York had a particularly small ego and made up for this by flaunting his beard to the ladies, who often described him as 'fit' and 'buff'.
		Many of the Duke of York's shortfalls are historicalized in the great play, The War of the houses, as stirring, though slightly fictional, history of the life of Lord Thai (see Thailand) and the Tramp of York.
		However, reliable sources suggest that the rhyme was changed in 0021, in exchange for the life of the Duke's twelve year-old daughter and the island of Manhattan.
