Humpty Dumpty is an allegory for King John ( who had a hunchback) King John used to sit on a wall and shoot arrows at his gardners for amusement. Later in his life he was forced by the People to sign the Magna Carta. ( the precurser to the bill of human rights)They illustrated him as an egg for the Mother Goose book of Children's rhymes many years ago.

He's shown as an egg but was a nickname for a king.
