Lackland.

He's sort of come along a little bit too late.

I mean, this is son number four that they've got, and he's kid number eight.

It's just like a whole handful of kids.

So as a result, they don't really know what to do with him.

Now, he's Henry's favorite.

Yeah.

So, which, you know, that's where the problem, this is where the problem lies.

So he kind of goes around with his father all the time and we've got the derogatory Lackland for him.

But also one of the things that we know is that this causes a lot of tension with people because basically Henry will show up with little John in tow and he'll say, oh, oh, nice land you got here.

Be a shame if someone's son dies.

And so he's kind of constantly biting off smaller pieces of other people's lands to roll over to John and turn into something.

Oh, yeah, they absolutely do.

And so by the time that John is born, Eleanor is done.
