“It means grossly inflating the traditional fees the Crown charges to noble men and women for buying royal pardons or licenses to marry. It means threatening, flattering, cajoling, and bribing anyone who seems that they might be parted from their wealth: convincing them by whatever means possible to believe in him and share in his vision of a righteous war.For much of 1415, therefore, Henry is a king with a begging bowl and a menacing stare.”
