Comment: Re: SHK 19.0089 Harry, Hal, Henry
Splendid post from Harry Berger about Hallory and his names. The final
exchange between him and Hotspur fits into this too:
Hotspur:
If I mistake not, thou art Harry Monmouth.
Prince:
Thou speak'st as if I would deny my name.
Hotspur
My name is Harry Percy.
Prince
Why then I see
A very valiant rebel of the name.
I am the Prince of Wales [...]
Implied: I am not "Harry" if you are; I am not another feudal warlord on
a level with you. Being matey with an army of subordinates is very
different from being matey with Hotspur, who might take it literally.

<quite a lot>, but failed to mention that "Harry" is simply the English
form of the French name "Henry", and apparently derives from the English
*pronunciation* of the latter. ("Hal" is simply a pet-form of "Harry".)

Is Shakespeare calling the mirror of Christian kings a bastard, as in
"Henry FitzRoy"?
Curious,
Joe Egert
