I’m with you on that—have never heard the expression “argy-bargy” and am not sure what the writer means when he says Henry V was “killed by the shits”—unless he means dysentery or some such unfortunate disease. But I AM pretty sure what he means when he talks about Henry VI “hiding the pink sceptre”—and that line is hilarious!

From the Urban Dictionary

argy bargy = a heated discussion, perhaps one that has become bad-tempered enough to amount to a spat or minor quarrel

...a common English expression for a nasty argument - perhaps moving into a shoving match...
