Joan Fitzalan would sell Henry down the river if it mean one of her grandchildren got one corn chip—

God, could you imagine what Joan would have done to Henry if/once she'd found out about the dagger incident?

It kills me that Ian Mortimer basically sums up Joan Fitzalan as an “old, pious woman” because that fits his thesis that Henry V had trouble with women. 

Because John Holland’s ghost is probably going, “SHE HAD ME EXECUTED WITHOUT A TRIAL. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON.”

Joan Fitzallen, at some point, probably: Pippa don't turn in to a swan at the dinner table, it isn't polite

Oh, Joan has said that to both her daughters and all of her grandkids. It’s always the same, she’s trying to have a nice, civilised meal and then, bam, there’s a swan sitting at the dinner table.
