One of the most common complaints about the histories is that everyone has the same name and it’s hard to keep them all straight. Well you know what? It’s true! Everyone DOES have the same name and it IS hard to keep them all straight, and I AM HERE FOR IT.
The first time I heard this exchange I nearly lost my mind. It is such a hilarious encapsulation of the confusion and chaos of the Wars of the Roses. Now, after years of reading history books and seeing as many performances of the histories as possible, I can tell you exactly who all those Edwards and Richards and Henrys are, and how exactly they are all related to each other. I love them all.
