#HenryIV

[byfaithmedia]

Shakespeare was baptised in his local church, Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon & the parish register documents his involvement in the life of the church, with the births of his three children & the burials of family members. His last will & testament delivers more than a formal statement. His testimony is spiritual, personal & biblical, claiming salvation, ‘through the only merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour, to be made partaker of life everlasting.

“O, that it could be proved

That some night-tripping fairy had exchanged

In cradle-clothes our children where they lay,

And called mine “Percy,” his “Plantagenet”!”

(1.1.85-88)

As the fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream had put a spell on the wrong person, King Henry wishes a fairy had made a mistake with his son and Lord Northumberland’s.

On This Day In Royal History . 15 April 1367 . King Henry IV was born . . ◼ Henry was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire. His father, John of Gaunt, was the fourth son of Edward III & the third son to survive to adulthood, & enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Henry’s cousin Richard II, whom Henry eventually deposed. . ◼ Henry’s mother was Blanche, heiress to the considerable Lancaster estates, & thus he became the first King of England from the Lancaster branch of the Plantagenets & the first King of England since the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English rather than French. . ◼ Henry deposed his cousin Richard II in 1399 to claim the throne as Henry IV. He faced numerous rebellions, the most serious of which aimed to install the Earl of March, the legitimate heir, as king. He was compelled by Parliament (1406) to nominate a constitutional council, to submit to an audit of accounts, & to reform his household. He married firstly Mary de Bohun (mother of Henry V) & later Joanna of Navarre. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1367 #HenryIV #KingHenryIV #Bolingbrokecastle #KingofEngland #HenryIVofEngland #KingHenryIVofEngland #Lancastrian #Plantagents #EnglishHeritage #Bolingbroke #HouseofPlantagenet #HouseofLancaster #theking #EnglishMonarchy #RoyalFamily #BritishMonarchy #d15Apr #Lancaster #kingsandqueens #heritage #castles #Onthisday #Plantagenet #lincolnshire #RoyalHistory #OnThisDay (at Bolingbroke Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_A4nuSDH3T/?igshid=11yb8o45hcny2

Cine: Mi mundo privado (1991)

El aclamado director Gus Van Sant (”Drugstore Cowboy”, “Elefante”, “Milk”) utiliza una obra de William Shakespeare (”Enrique IV”) para adentrarse en la vida de Mike Waters (el inolvidable River Phoenix), un joven inmerso en el submundo del robo y la prostitución masculina que padece las consecuencias de su narcolepsia (es decir: se queda dormido de manera inconsciente y sorpresiva) a la vez que ejerce su peligroso oficio con hombres y mujeres. Su colega y mejor amigo Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves), proveniente de una familia adinerada que espera heredar una fortuna ni bien cumpla los 21 años, lo acompaña en su travesía más personal: buscar el rastro de su madre adonde lo lleven sus reticentes recuerdos o los de su padre (James Russo). 

Bien ganado tiene el traje de “película de culto” merced a su estilo, que deambula entre el coming-of-age y una road movie, y a su retrato descarnado sobre el bajo mundo y las vidas jóvenes que carecen de otras posibilidades más que entregarse a la delincuencia, la venta de su propio cuerpo, las adicciones y, en fin, la clase de decadencia moral que sólo pueden esperar quienes no tienen mayor esperanza. Pero también vence por la contundencia de las actuaciones, ya legendarias, de Phoenix y Reeves, acompañados por un elenco notable que incluye a Tom Troupe (Jack, padre de Scott), William Richert (Bob Pigeon, mentor en las malas artes de Mike, Scott y otros muchachos), Grace Zabriskie y Udo Kier (Alena y Hans respectivamente: dos de los clientes sexuales que contratan los servicios de los protagonistas), Chiara Caselli (Carmella, la joven italiana de la que Scott se enamora) y Flea (sí, el integrante de los Red Hot Chili Peppers), Rodney Harvey y Michael Parker (Budd, Gary y Digger, tres integrantes del clan de Bob, que comparten el camino de delito, sexo y drogas que éste les ha inculcado).

25th October 1400, death of English poet, author, philosopher, astronomer and 'Father of English literature' Geoffrey Chaucer best known for The Canterbury Tales. In 1373, Chaucer visited Genoa and Florence, and possibly met the Italian poets Petrarch, and Boccaccio, whose humanistic style, may have inspired the writing of the Canterbury Tales. Boccaccio’s work the ‘Decameron’, completed in 1353, tells of 100 tales told by seven women, and three men, as they shelter in a villa outside Florence to escape the pestilence of the Black Death in 1348, which had killed three-quarters of Florence's population. Petrarch’s work also was associated with the black Death, due to the outbreak killing his poetic muse Laura in 1348, sending him into a further despairing state. Canterbury Tales was first published in 1478 by William Caxton, the first known English printer and publisher, introducing a printing press into England in 1476. Chaucer died on this day of unknown causes, the only reference to the date of his death however comes from engraving on his tomb placed there 100 years after his death. It has been speculated that he was murdered by the enemies of Richard II, who he had had a close association with due to his friendship, and later being brother in law to Richard’s uncle John of Gaunt. It was John of Gaunt’s son Henry Bolingbroke who had deposed Richard in 1399, and was crowned as Henry IV, providing further speculation that Chaucer was killed upon Henry IV’s orders. Whatever the reason for his death, Chaucer was buried in Westminster Abbey, his remains being transferred to a new area of the Abbey now known as ‘Poet’s Corner’.

We steal as in castle, cocksure. We have the
