Shakespeare's English Kings Quotes

“...the English lost at most 500 men, including only two lords, the Earl of Suffolk and the Duke of York. Shakespeare’s Exeter gives these two noblemen a brilliant chivalric epitaph; history, however, adds its usual sour note by pointing out that York perished, not by the sword, but by suffocation or a heart attack after falling off his horse. He was quite fat.”
― Peter Saccio, Shakespeare's English Kings: History, Chronicle, and Drama
