He was a warrior king. I think he’d like the present Queen and the rest would leave him cold!

[The Deplorable Miss Lemon]

I often wonder what Henry II or Henry V would think of this current crop of girly boys. Charles would leave them weeping, LOL.

[SunkenCiv]

First he was murdered by henchmen of an illegitimate usurper, then the fake news kicked in. :^)

Kings - Steely Dan

Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin’

We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John

While he plundered far and wide
All his starving children cried
And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line

We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John

Lovely, I will look forward to watching. Thank you.

[SunkenCiv]

Both of them, I hope, they’re both worth watching.

[The Deplorable Miss Lemon]

I think they look very good. One thing the British can do very well is theatre even the semi-documentary kind. :-)

[miss marmelstein]

I didn’t watch all of it but it is a typical British “documentary” - half humorous, half serious. She gets some things right, too.

[miss marmelstein]

Henry didn’t take part in the battle. He only emerged from his tent after Richard had been brutally executed. I still love the fact that Richard took down one of his giant bodyguards with a single blow of his battle ax. When you see how his scoliosis affected him, you can see his courage and determination and strength! What a guy.
