Subject: RE: October 25: John of Beverley
Well alanabit, everybody deserves to be judged against the standards of their own time, and Henry V was maybe no worse than others. But he does have some pretty repulsive crimes against his name (not the killing of the prisoners at Agincourt,though. I'll let him off that for military necessity).What particularyl grates with me is the hypocritical piety...baptising babies at Rouen before starving them to death for example.
