That answer cannot be verified at all. The only answer that can be verified is that it was satire. Which meant it was a poke at royalty only. The others are very ambiguous indeed.

Coming from Colchester which is Britain’s oldest recorded town as far as I’m aware, Humpty Dumpty was a large cannon that fell off the wall and shattered. Hence the ‘all the kings horses and all the Kings men, couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Just an fyi... only posting a comment (on any question) will not get them taken down or corrected. The only way to accomplish that is for enough people to use the red 'report' button & report the problem(s)/error(s) to the creators.

Dark Side of Humpty Dumpty 2 : "King Richard III's horse was supposedly called 'Wall', off of which he fell during battle," she writes. "He was bludgeoned so severely his men could not save him, becoming the last king to die in battle." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, in the 17th century, the term "humpty dumpty" referred to a drink of brandy boiled with ale. The riddle probably exploited, for misdirection, the fact that "humpty dumpty" was also eighteenth-century reduplicative slang for a short and clumsy person.

The Dark Side of Humpty Dumpty This is probably the easiest poem to interpret. “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall/ Humpty Dumpty had a great fall/ All the king’s horses and all the king’s men/ Couldn’t put Humpty back together again.” Humpty was an egg who fell off of a wall and cracked. Even all of the people of the kingdom working together could not fix this broken egg. And, although the character probably died, we still sing jauntily about it. For some reason, our young minds do not visualize the demise of the fragile egg, with the yolk spilling out of its fractured shell. It’s like a toddler horror movie! Some Lyrics : Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again Now, look at the lyrics? Suspicious right?

dini cee, I personally don't think Wikipedia should be a source at all. At the university I went to here in Australia students are not permitted to reference Wikipedia.

I definitely agree that it was only a poke on royalty and it is not related to any of the mentioned theory
