Okay, for some really pre prequels, how about:
Malcolm Caenmore in the Middle: the wacky adventures of Scottish prince Malcolm, his conniving father Duncan, baby brother Donalbane, and slightly-too-close-for-comfort cousin MacBeth. This weeks episode – Malcolm tries to pluck up the courage to ask the pretty English exchange student, Maggie Aethling, to Scone High’s prom!
Charlemagne’s Angels: every week Frankish King Charlemagne (aka “Charley”) dispatching three beautiful agents (rotating roster includes Eleanor of Aquitaine, Heloise, and Catherine the Great) to defeat their nemesis and promote female equality. Eleanor’s the pretty one, Heloise’s the smart one, and…Cathy’s the ho!
Three’s company, but four’s a crowd: King Edward II tries a medieval version of the open marriage, with himself, his gay lover Piers Gaveston, his Queen Isabella, and her lover Roger Mortimer. Made famous the punch-line: “I always knew that Roger Mortimer was a pain in the ass!”. Wackiness ensues.
