Absolutely obsessed with the footnote 146 on page 325, according to which astrology girlie Richard went to a soothsayer to get a prediction about the outcome of the duel between his cousin Henry and Mowbray. He was apparently told Mowbray was going to win.

Gender equality is more than women having the same jobs as men or even doing the same things for the same money and recognition. Women who have 'men's jobs' do not enter them on a gender-equal or a gender-neutral playing field.
