:15:02
Thank you, my lord.
:15:04
Your Majesty.
Your Royal Highness.
:15:08
Most noble sovereign.
:15:10
-A chair for his lordship.
-Thank you, my lord.
:15:14
l"m sorry to see you in pain.
:15:16
lt is the agues from the bogs of
lreland, my lord. Godforsaken place.
:15:22
Saving your presence, my lord bishop.
:15:24
We would not have summoned
you had the situation...
:15:27
...not been of great urgency.
:15:29
You"ve heard that the Scottish
rebels are marching on Newcastle?
:15:33
You will whip these barbarians
to their senses.
:15:37
-But what of lreland, my lord?
-We"ll deal with lreland in good time.

:16:15
...who would more readily draw
swords against the king.

mouths such treason in your presence?
:16:24
You"ve been away
a long time, Strafford.
:16:27
Much here has changed.
:16:29
Aye, l can see it has.
:16:31
l fear Sir Edward but speaks the truth.
:16:35
To put an effective army in the field
will cost almost a million pounds.
:16:39
The Crown does not
have a million pounds.
:16:43
Are we just going to sit here
then and do nothing?
:16:48
Then l will summon Parliament
and instruct them to provide money.
:16:54

:16:57
The king of England go cap in
