Sir Edmund Dudley
- Margaret Beaufort: Maximilian has yet again refused to hand over the traitor Edmund de la Pole. We're offered trade deals, money. God knows his country needs it, but still he has refused.
- King Henry Tudor: He is coming for me. Dudley, where's my army?
- Sir Edmund Dudley: Ah, yes, Your Grace.
- [Harry enters]
- Sir Edmund Dudley: The military expansion is a costly venture...
- Prince Harry Tudor: Uh, sorry. Why do we need men? Why are we expanding?
- Margaret Beaufort: Because the threat of an invasion led by Edmund de la Pole...
- Prince Harry Tudor: Oh, right. Um, de la Pole, the York.
- Margaret Beaufort: Yes.
- Prince Harry Tudor: Yes.
- Sir Edmund Dudley: We had agreed on a defense tax, but it'll take time to raise the funds to pay the men...
- Prince Harry Tudor: Well, then don't raise them. You are hell-bent on robbing the people. Pull men from the armies of all the nobles sitting here. Staffors, how large is your retinue, 300 men, 400? If we centralize the military, my father wouldn't have to beg and simper to you all like a serving maid.
- King Henry Tudor: My son is agry, because a girl who has his young heart in her keeping prefers a king to a boy. But if he spent less time on girls and ale, he would know that we are already drawing men from all these noble houses! And so your contribution to this privy council is of no use whatsoever!
- Margaret Beaufort: Gentlemen, please leave us. The council is dismissed.
- Prince Harry Tudor: Ale can be a marvelous thing. It lures me into taverns on a quest for insobriety, but while you men grow old with talk... I discover. De la Pole is here, in London.
