My lords, His Majesty.
:31:36
Do you not rise, sir,
when your king approaches?

:31:39
Rise, sir! Or to your knees in shame.
:31:48
You did give me
your most solemn promise...

:31:51
...that you would hold Bristol
for four months.

:31:53
You have not held it for four weeks!

You promised mountains,
yet you perform molehills.

:32:00
You make a knave of your king.
:32:03
My lord...

l made a military decision.
:32:40
A decision that may have
cost us this war.

:32:59
Your action in this matter
is of such affliction to me, sir...
