[edit] Requested move

See [old] discussion on Talk:Henry IV, Part 1. --Quuxplusone 02:03, 30 July 2005 (UTC) It is completely untrue that there is a widespread consensus Part II is worse than Part I. To many Part II is considered the better play and it is rare, even in Shakespeare, to find more profound and moving scenes than Henry IV on his deathbed. The reason Hal and Falstaff meet sporadically is to show that Falstaff is losing touch with Henry and Henry is completing his transition into a worthy heir.It demonstrates that their relationship is coming to an end and Falstaff is no longer worthy of a place in the Prince's life.

[edit] Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Why no mention of this classic piece of cinema being based around Henry IV? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.41.53.33 (talk) 19:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

That's a very good question. Which aspect of Grail IS based around Henry IV? AndyJones 19:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
