King of Swamp Castle [gesturing toward the window]: One day, lad, all this will be yours.
Prince Herbert: Wot? The curtains?
King of Swamp Castle: No, not the curtains, lad! All that you can see stretched out over the valleys and the hills! That’ll be your kingdom, lad.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England. – Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 1975
