Quotes by John Gillingham (?)

“And, just as in the Roman Empire the rich had found ways of avoiding paying taxes, so also now the main burden fell upon the mass of the population. Thus, in Commynes’s words, ‘it was pitiful to see and learn about the poverty of the people.”
― John Gillingham, The Wars of the Roses: Peace and Conflict in 15th Century England

“War without fire’, said Henry V, ‘is like sausages without mustard.”
