“O, that it could be proved

That some night-tripping fairy had exchanged

In cradle-clothes our children where they lay,

And called mine “Percy,” his “Plantagenet”!”

(1.1.85-88)

As the fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream had put a spell on the wrong person, King Henry wishes a fairy had made a mistake with his son and Lord Northumberland’s.

On This Day In Royal History . 15 April 1367 . King Henry IV was born . . ◼ Henry was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire. His father, John of Gaunt, was the fourth son of Edward III & the third son to survive to adulthood, & enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Henry’s cousin Richard II, whom Henry eventually deposed. . ◼ Henry’s mother was Blanche, heiress to the considerable Lancaster estates, & thus he became the first King of England from the Lancaster branch of the Plantagenets & the first King of England since the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English rather than French. . ◼ Henry deposed his cousin Richard II in 1399 to claim the throne as Henry IV. He faced numerous rebellions, the most serious of which aimed to install the Earl of March, the legitimate heir, as king. He was compelled by Parliament (1406) to nominate a constitutional council, to submit to an audit of accounts, & to reform his household. He married firstly Mary de Bohun (mother of Henry V) & later Joanna of Navarre. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1367 #HenryIV #KingHenryIV #Bolingbrokecastle #KingofEngland #HenryIVofEngland #KingHenryIVofEngland #Lancastrian #Plantagents #EnglishHeritage #Bolingbroke #HouseofPlantagenet #HouseofLancaster #theking #EnglishMonarchy #RoyalFamily #BritishMonarchy #d15Apr #Lancaster #kingsandqueens #heritage #castles #Onthisday #Plantagenet #lincolnshire #RoyalHistory #OnThisDay (at Bolingbroke Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_A4nuSDH3T/?igshid=11yb8o45hcny2
