• Scotland’s King James I was into playing an early version of tennis that included balls and racquets
but not X, which proved deadly.
• James kept losing balls in the sewage drain at the corner of the court he played on at Blackfriars
Monastery. This made him furious and what good is being king if you can’t wildly decree that an
inconvenient sewage drain immediately be sealed?
• Like many capricious decisions, this one came back to bite James pretty bad.
• A few days later, assassins broke into his place to… assassinate him. The king attempted to dodge
the bad guys by going underneath the floorboards and into the drainage system with the
intention of escaping via the tennis court exit. But instead of a bunch of tennis balls clogging up
the sewer drain he was fleeing through, he found the newly sealed grate, and was subsequently
caught and murdered.
