Henry IV, Part 2
Rumour opens on the aftermath of Shrewsbury, with the rebellion regrouping in the north and a sick king who cannot leave for Jerusalem. Prince Hal keeps his distance from the tavern while Falstaff, promoted by the war, recruits ragged soldiers in Gloucestershire and dines out on his reputation. The second panel of the Henriad, and its coldest: growing up priced in the people it costs.
