It took 4 centuries for people to start saying "maybe starving entire cities isn't actually chivalrous"??? Damn.

"exit, pursued by jubilant Scots"

In Plantagenet england YOU are evil to your stepmother

I was about to say something about how the lollards would have been vindicated today with the CoE but apparently catholicism is currently overtaking anglicanism in the UK for the first time since reformation. So I'm guessing Thomas More is cackling somewhere?

This is what happens when a Plantagenet is also a theater kid (derogatory)

"even in late 1406 it is obvious that the french example should be avoided at all cost"
In late 2025 too, mind you.

"the only child in his immediate family is his 9 year old wife" stopped me in my tracks.

Oh wow Richard II was such a dick. They all were tbh but there are levels of dickishness.
