"King Richard II, was murdered
on behalf of the Duke...
:02:36
...Henry Bollingbroke, say some,
at the castle of...
:02:40
...Pontefract, on 14th February,
of the year 1400.
:02:44
Before his death, the
Duke had been crowned.
:02:48
And Edmund Mortimer, the
true heir to the throne...
:02:52
...was a prisoner of the
Welsh rebels.
:02:56
The new king was in no hurry
to pay for his ransom...
:02:59
...and to prove this, Mortimer's
cousins, the Percys...
:03:02
...set off to Windsor,
to see the King.
:03:05
Northumberland...
:03:07
...his son, Henry Percy,
surnamed "Hotspur"...
:03:11
...and Worcester, whose idea,
was always to act maliciously...
:03:14
...and to plot against them."
:03:18
Shall we buy treason?
:03:22
- My lord...
- No, let him starve.
:03:25
For I shall never hold that man
my friend...
:03:27
...whose tongue shall ask me to
ransom home revolted Mortimer!
:03:31
Revolted? He never did fall off
my lord's liege, but by war.
:03:35
Till now, I have remain'd cold
blooded before these iniquities...
:03:39
...but, I tell thee, I shan't remain
thus much longer a time.
:03:43
Our family, my lord...
:03:45
...deserves not the harshness
of your rage...
:03:49
...for thou art support'd, by our
greatness and our weapons...
:03:52
...to be seated on this throne.
- Worcester, leave us, I say!
:03:56
For your eyes, speak of plots,
resentment and obedience not.
