“I was banished Hereford. But as I come, I come for Lancaster.” The land is the man, the flow of title justifies all manner of power change/grab. #R2 #ShakeRace
Yes, absolutely. This is a vital point and related to Giant’s accusation “landlord if England, thou art.” But Bolingbroke exploits that difference to suggest that his former title and rank rather than him, the man, was exiled.

I see the exploits angle, & Shax works that. But what if that the gap we see between “a man” and his lands/titles is not a gap? What if man-ness & land are bound, the former birthed by the latter? When Gaunt dies, Henry changes. That’s what makes N-Umb support him as an Everylord

Yes, I see what you’re saying the “magic” of birthright inheritance tied to land effects a real transformation. Thanks for working through this with me.
