Podcast appearances and mentions of Prince Hal

The leader of the Act Party has been in plenty of headlines in the last two weeks, ranging from a controversial (and historic) letter written on behalf of constituent Philip Polkinghorne to an attempt to drive a Land Rover up the steps of parliament. Remarkably, he had a pop at an "ill-advised" Christopher Luxon. And that's just scraping the surface; there are the questions around the response to Tim Jago, the teacher-only days, the school lunches. Across the board, he is steadfast in insisting he's erred not even a skerrick. Is it an obduracy born of being a one-man band for so long, or is he going through a Prince Hal phase, getting some stuff out of his system before he becomes the king (or deputy prime minister, at least)? Annabelle Lee-Mather, Ben Thomas and Toby Manhire thrash all that out. Plus: how much alarm are the latest cluster of opinion polls causing for National and Luxon? Does a cavalcade of health issues represent a serious political headache for the government? What should we make of the findings in the much-delayed Manurewa Marae data inquiry? And a word on the Cook Islands, Mark Brown and China. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Richcreek, Blaise Doran, Alan Weyman, Rory Barnett, Tim Dehn, Graham Scott, Geraint Pickard, Noni Lewis, Roberta Jackson, Denis Daly, Christopher Dukes, Sarah Jane Rose, Josh Innerst, Gregory Dwyer and Shane Emmett This full cast presentation includes Part 1 and Part 2 of Shakespeare's Henry IV.In 1598 appeared a Quarto with the following title:The History of Henrie the Fourth; With the Battell at Shrewsburie, betweene the King and Lord Henry Percy, surnamed Henrie Hotspur of the North. With the humorous conceits of Sir John Falstaffe. At London. Printed by P. S. for Andrew Wise, dwelling in Paules Churchyard, at the signe of the Angell. 1598.This was the First Part of Shakespeare's Henry IV, which must have been written in 1597. This play is the first in which Shakespeare really demonstrated his great and overwhelming individuality. Its dramatic structure is fairly loose, though is closer knit and technically stronger than that of the Second Part. However, as a poetical creation, it is one of the great masterpieces of the world's literature, at once heroic and burlesque, thrilling and side-splitting. Yet these contrasted elements are not brought into hard-and-fast rhetorical antithesis, but move and mingle with a natural freedom. The driving elements of the plot are the machinations of the guilt-ridden King Henry IV to establish the legitimacy of his accession and the inevitable revolt by the former supporters who helped him to gain the throne. One of the leaders of the opposing faction is the warlike Henry Percy, nicknamed Hotspur, who the king compares unfavourably with his own son, the self-indulgent and riotous Prince Hal. The prince spends much of his time cavorting with a group of boon companions, the most notable of which is the dissipated and unscrupulous knight, Sir John Falstaff, who acts as something of a surrogate parent. At the end of the First Part, the revolt is suppressed; in the conflict, Prince Hal reveals his true character as a doughty defender of the realm. In the Second Part, the king's health progressively declines and Hal begins to assert his royal prerogative. Eventually, the king dies, and Hal, now having shed all his adolescent impertinence, ascends to the throne. Falstaff, in expectation of elevation to high office and new-found prosperity, publicly accosts the new king and is rudely rebuffed, together with his disreputable retinue.

The first thing most people think about when they think about Hal Newhouser is World War II. That's ironic, given that he was not allowed to serve. But his dominance during the war years led to the longstanding belief that he was some kind of mirage, created by the lack of talent in the American League in those years. But, as Mike and Bill found out as they traced his career on the 80th anniversary of winning his first of consecutive MVP awards, that's not remotely the whole story, as  Newhouser remained a dominant and Hall of Fame caliber pitcher for several years after everyone came home.  Plus, happy birthday to Billy Rogell and George Burns.

The year is 1403, and the Usurper King, Henry IV, faces a seemingly insurmountable challenge to his rule. He has been brought the news that his old friend, Harry “Hotspur” Percy, has betrayed him, and plans to lead his army against the King. Meanwhile, to the West, the revolt in Wales continues, at its head the formidable welsh king Owain Glyndŵr. And even in Scotland, where Henry IV thought he'd settled things down by silencing the terrifying Earl of Douglas, there is more trouble: a kitchen boy is claiming to be Richard II. And having made it halfway up to Scotland with his army to quell the newfound unrest, Henry IV must turn around, and march his men towards Wales, to face Hotspur at Schrewsbury...

When master medieval archer Andy Rice was last on the Alnwick Castle podcast, we were introduced to some of the principles and the importance of archery in the Middle Ages. For our latest episode, Andy returned for a live interview in Artisans Courtyard - with a live audience listening in!You will hear Andy explain how the bow and its arrows were made. Continuing our 2024 theme of the Wars of the Roses, he describes how archery made a difference (or didn't) in battles like Towton in 1461. And then we get a little bit gory with the story of the arrows during the Battle of Shrewsbury - one that was fatal for Alnwick Castle's own Harry Hotspur, and one that Prince Hal, the future Henry V, survived.C/W: This last section of the episode (16:42-28:08) contains references to medieval surgery and may not be for the queasy or faint-hearted!This was a live episode recording in Artisans Courtyard, so you will also hear various background noises as Andy speaks.See Andy demonstrate the medieval longbow in person at Alnwick Castle this July and August.

The play's climax is the Battle of Shrewsbury, in which Prince Hal and Hotspur meet and fight, with Prince Hal and the forces of the King prevailing. The action continues in King Henry IV, Part 2.

Ormond by Maria Edgeworth audiobook. Maria Edgeworth was one of the most popular writers of her time, a sharp and witty observer of society manners, and a favorite author for Jane Austen. “Ormond,” published in 1817, is a “coming-of-age” novel, tracing a young man's development as he approaches the age of majority. When we meet him, Harry Ormond has his “heart in the right place,” but is unsettled of character, naïve and impulsive. The central issue is: “What kind of man will he become?” In part, Harry is influenced by the books he reads: Fielding's “Tom Jones,” Richardson's “Sir Charles Grandison,” and works of the French Enlightenment. More important, however, are influences from the company he keeps, much as Prince Hal in Shakespeare's “Henry IV” takes shape as a reflection of the people around him. As an orphan, Harry had been adopted by Sir Ulick O'Shane, a man of society, full of subtlety and strategies, who exploits his public trust for private advantage (a practice known at that time as “jobbing”). Harry also spends time with Sir Ulick's cousin Cornelius, a Falstaffian figure of hearty good cheer and eccentric rural lifestyle. (He enthrones himself on a tiny island in an Irish lake, calls himself the “King of the Black Islands” and nicknames Ormond “Prince Harry.”) Later, Harry follows Cornelius's daughter to Paris, where he witnesses the glamorous dissipation of French society in the years before the Revolution. This novel explores the challenges of bringing together apparent oppositions: reconciling promised loyalty with assertion of self, Anglo-Irish landlords with their Irish tenants, Catholics with Protestants, and the impulsive heart with the rational head. “Ormond” is named in the reference list “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.”

King Henry IV by William Shakespeare audiobook. As the play opens, King Henry IV (formerly Henry Bolingbroke) and Henry Percy (Hotspur) argue over the disposition of prisoners from the Battle of Holmedon. The King's attitude toward Mortimer and the Percy family prompts them to plot rebellion. In the meantime, his son Prince Hal is living the low life in the company of Sir John Falstaff.

The play's climax is the Battle of Shrewsbury, in which Prince Hal and Hotspur meet and fight, with Prince Hal and the forces of the King prevailing.

Orson Welles' 1966 Shakespeare adaptation revolves around the minor character Fastaff, the drunken thief and alternative father-figure to Prince Hal.

King Henry IV would face a major threat from within England, led by Henry "Harry Hotspur" Percy. Percy's rebellion would culminate at the Battle of Shrewsbury, fought on 21 July 1403. How did this battle unfold, and how did Prince Hal survive an arrow to the face? You can support his podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists

Minute Forty-One: From Frosty Baby to "Tell me!” Joining us on the show to discuss frosty baby Loki and the Shakespearean argument between Odin and Loki is Austin Tichenor, creator of The Shakespeareance, co-artistic director of The Reduced Shakespeare Company and producer & host of the Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast. In the forty-first minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We see elements of King Lear in here, but Austin also points out elements from Henry IV Parts I and II, particularly conflict between Hotspur and Prince Hal. There's certainly an element of big acting that works so well in Shakespearean heightened language, and we certainly see that when Loki screams “Tell me!” Austin calls it the intensity of intention, which we definitely see. When Odin told young Thor and young Loki about how they're both born to be kings but only one gets to be king, was he debating if he would tell Loki about his heritage? Being born to be king paired with identity is such a core part of Shakespeare's plays. Yet no one debates if this type of hereditary monarchy should still exist. Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins deliver such strong performances here. So at this point, where do Loki and Odin feel about who is next in line for the throne? Does Loki think this frost giant past has removed him from the line? Or is Loki thinking about the possibility of being king of Jotunheim, the place he just nearly destroyed with the raid? But Odin had to have seen what terrible king Thor would've made, right? That being said, do you give the throne to the god of mischief? There is a bit of Caliban from The Tempest in Loki too. We do talk about the frosty baby, at some point, right? How does Loki feel knowing that he was slaughtering Jotuns earlier? We bring in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Henry VI in as well. And Cymbeline too! How much of Odin rewriting his own history are we getting in this conversation? So much feels retconned. We finally talk about the frosty baby. We talk about the Loki baby, who starts as a frost baby and changes at the hands of Odin to normal looking. So that's his spell we guess? Was baby Loki abandoned? Left in a temple? A bit of both? Or is this all just from Odin's perspective? The lighting in this scene is stunning, as is the production design. Do the marks on the frosty baby change over time? The idea of masters of magic still confuses us – Odin's in this category now for sure. Does Loki know what he wants to hear from Odin? Odin freezes when Loki confronts him. Truth versus comfort. It's a tough line for a parent. From King Lear to Henry IV Parts I and II to The Tempest to Richard II, we cover all sorts of Shakespearean elements in this minute – plus a frosty baby – with Austin.

Minute 29: From Old Man to Unworthy We have a special Shakespearean expert joining us for this minute of royal family drama. Dr. Jeff Wilson from the Harvard College Writing Program talks with us about Thor's Shakespearean connections and why it makes so much sense for Branagh to be directing. In the twenty-ninth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We dig into the Shakespearean elements that Branagh saw in this story that drew him in, notably the story of Prince Hal in the first part of Henry IV. That totally makes sense as his draw to this, not to mention some of the people he cast like Anthony Hopkins and Tom Hiddleston. Dr. Wilson felt that Branagh pulled it off and also heard that the actors and director walked around talking in Shakespearean shorthand on the set (which surely frustrated anyone not as familiar with the Bard and his stories). We discuss comparisons with Shakespeare's Prince Hal. Dr. Wilson also breaks down the story of Prince Hal, part of one of Shakespeare's two tetralogies, and explains the similarities for us in it. And apparently, Branagh gave Chris Hemsworth at one point the St. Crispin's Day speech and told him to come to set with it prepared to read. How amazing would that be to watch? When Hopkins and Hemsworth deliver their biting comments at one another, the Shakespearean training shines through as the lines are full of heightened and grand language. It's like verbal acid they're throwing at one another. What's amazing here, however, is how Hopkins pivots when Thor calls him old and foolish. The way he drops the anger and becomes almost pensive and thoughtful reflects the wisdom that comes with age. And isn't it funny that so many superhero films boil down to the Spider-Man theme – with great power comes great responsibility. Dr. Wilson schools us on the Mirrors for Magistrates as a genre in which leaders (usually princes) learn how to lead responsibly. And to that end, it also fits Screenwriting 101 as a character has to learn and grow over the course of a film. We discuss comparisons with Shakespeare's King Lear. We find out that Hopkins had approached the moment when he realizes his errors in raising Thor as a King Lear moment. So far, two Shakespeare references playing out in this scene! Loki's attempt at interrupting the fight brings up more Shakespearean references. Hiddleston's just so good in this role as he clearly is gaming things right now. We also find out that Hiddleston actually thinned down for this part to look more lean and hungry-looking, taking cues from Cassius in Shakespeare's stories. We even bring up Shakespeare's Iago. There's also references to Iago. Seriously, this is a very Shakespearean minute. This really isn't so much a battle between the old ways and the new ways as it is between wisdom and youthful eagerness. Thor may see it as the old and the new, but that's the view from youth. Thor finally pushes Odin to the brink and Odin begins stripping Thor of his ranks, telling him he's unworthy. This is a big minute. Odin calls Thor vain, greedy, and cruel. He'll call him arrogant and stupid. It seems Odin really has let things build up a bit too much, eh? Look at that! We bring up the film The Life of Emile Zola, definitely not Shakespeare. Branagh referenced the Dreyfus Affair from the film The Life of Emile Zola as a point of how a soldier gets stripped of his ranks. It's quite a ritual in that film. Not so much here, but certainly still involving a lot for Odin to have to take from Thor. To that end, it really seems more like an emotional beat (and to that end Shakespearean?) to have Odin make his decision and take action right here instead of bringing Thor back to Valaskjalf to strip him of his ranks in front of all the Asgardians, the Einherjar and more. It also is more Shakespearean to have this scene set on this threshold here as a key point between worlds. Inevitably, we bring it back around to Prince Hal. Dr. Wilson does point out how it's interesting how this story flips Hal's story on its head – here, it's Asgard where Thor goes to get his education. In Shakespeare's play, it's the reverse as he returns to the palace for his own education. And that comparison of Asgard as a pub kinda makes sense, right? The first thing Odin removes from Thor's armor are the top two discs of the six on Thor's chest plate. It's interesting to learn from this that these discs are actually part of the rankings, and now we want to keep our eyes out for other armor designs to see what sort of rankings we may be able to pinpoint. Dr. Wilson points out sumptuary laws that had existed in England at one point (as well as other parts of the world) that kept certain classes from wearing clothing or outfits from other classes. He also points out the fun that Joss Whedon was having with Branagh by throwing his ‘Shakespeare in the Park' reference in The Avengers that Tony uses to insult Thor. So great. And, of course, since it is Thorsday, we ask Dr. Wilson what his favorite moment is with Thor in all the films. It may involve essentially a play within a play. It's an intense minute of Shakespearean family drama, and Dr. Jeff Wilson's here to walk us through all of it. Tune in!
