2024“They have heard enough about Ireland to know what they need to acquire for the journey. Ireland is going to be cold, and wet.”Ses propres motsChapter 5, “Fair Cousin” (p. 48)“Richard was the rightful king, but a fool. Henry’s father is a capable man, but a usurper. Sometimes it is hard to know which of these positions is worse.”Ses propres motsChapter 9, “His Miraculous Power” (p. 94)“Henry’s father is ill, but he is not ready to die. This is a problem for the king himself. It is an even more serious problem for everyone else.”Ses propres motsChapter 11, “Virtuous Prince” (p. 111)“As he grows up, he will shed any inclination to treat his enemies leniently. Toughness and a near-total lack of sentimentality will become hallmarks of his political character.”Ses propres motsChapter 9, “His Miraculous Power” (p. 121)“Henry’s experience of rolling up his sleeves and taking charge of financial administration is a crash course in the unglamorous side of kingship.”Ses propres motsChapter 13, “Holy Fire” (p. 144)“It means grossly inflating the traditional fees the Crown charges to noble men and women for buying royal pardons or licenses to marry.”Ses propres motsChapter 20, “Fickle and Capricious Fortune” (p. 215)1981Naissance27 janvier 1981

Richard has long been determined to reverse the decline of English control over Ireland.
So the parliament, which represents the seventeen-year-old Prince Henry’s return to political life, is hardly a resounding success.
Dull, painstaking, technocratic work seldom moves bards and chroniclers in the same way as battlefield victories.
