There’s no doubt that Henry V was a genuine badass. The King of England who conquered France is immortal thanks to Kenneth Branagh’s legendary on-screen performance, but the real-life Henry (the only king of England to be crowned king of France, too) didn’t ultimately win a lasting imperial legacy for his country despite his heroism during the Battle of Agincourt.
After Henry’s passing, England’s upper hand in the Hundred Years’ War was lost and His continental empire was subsequentally squandered and lost by his less-formidable successors.
Malinowski is just “bad” and an ass. See the difference?
So sure, it’s cool quote and very interesting history, but it’s amusing as all hell to see Malinowski – one of Congress’s most painfully out-of-touch elitists who profited off of pandemic stocks – quoting the Bard ahead of what will undoubtedly be the fight of his political life.
