just so crazy how they talk of this girl like she’s an object to be traded, a literal prisoner whichever way she’s sold to secure peace and prosperity etc etc etc…

me as shakespeare aging up margaret bc it’s weird as fuck for a 44 year old to want to fuck a 14 year old, oh my god!!! william de la pole, kill yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway, we somehow jumped from 1432-ish to 1435-ish to now 1443-1444-ish… and someone will say writing prequels is easy, look at bill over here doing whatever the fuck he wants

??? IS BILL SAYING JOAN OF ARC WAS IN PACT WITH DEMONS 😭😭😭 scream… imagine hating the french so bad

IV.V or the scene between talbot and his son does notttttt feel like shakespeare omg… way too many obvious rhymes, too flat

i mean i know that war between an uncle and his ten year old nephew is nothing to these girlies who would and did sell their own brothers for the crown but can that thing really have been that important… it’s your BROTHER… what’s the POINT… so many people dead bc of one fucked up family, i love the plantagenets

i mean one must understand that by marrying catherine of valois, henry v has made the entire french nobility his family and now you have burgundy revolting against henry vi to join with the dauphin charles but charles is his cousin by marriage! bc he’s married to charles’ sister! and henry is his nephew by marriage! bc henry’s mother is his wife’s sister! henry is LITERALLY charles’ nephew!!! war is crazy

bill just doing whatever the fuck he wants with those timelines

the way bill has richard swear “humble obedience and service till the point of death” to henry upon the king reinstating his assets and his dukedom… an oath that will haunt us later! 😑🙏

also WHAT is somersets problem with york…

you ever call your uncle the “bastard of your grandfather” in front of your nephew the king and all your other brothers, cousins and uncles… and it’s the court of england

“enter king henry” <- he’s four… also not yet king. edmund died in 1425 but henry was crowned in late 1429 when he was eight… lets put this parliament meeting in 1430, then, even though wikipedia says he was only granted his inheritance in 1432
