About This Book

This volume gathers a sequence of history plays that dramatize struggles over kingship, succession, and national identity in late medieval England. Rulers confront rebellions, papal and foreign pressure, and challenges to legitimacy, while a young prince evolves from license to wartime command. Scenes range from courtly intrigue and parliamentary deposition to battlefield councils and siege drama, intermixing solemn meditation on power and right with earthy comic relief provided by a boisterous companion. Recurring themes include the burdens of rule, honor versus expediency, the manipulation of law and ceremony, and the formation of leadership through conflict.

Exe. This was a merry message.
K. Hen. We hope to make the sender blush at it.[4639]
 Therefore, my lords, omit no happy hour300
 That may give furtherance to our expedition;
 For we have now no thought in us but France,[4640]
 Save those to God, that run before our business.
 Therefore let our proportions for these wars
 Be soon collected and all things thought upon[4641]305
 That may with reasonable swiftness add[4642]
 More feathers to our wings; for, God before,
 We'll chide this Dauphin at his father's door.
 Therefore let every man now task his thought,
 That this fair action may on foot be brought.[4643]310

[Exeunt. Flourish.
