I mean, this man came to England like four times altogether.

And mostly it was because his dad said so.

And then to like get a bunch of money.

And he did not speak English.

He did not particularly care about it.

You know, he was really raised to understand himself as part of the French milieu.

Yeah.

Well, it is a confusing one.

But, you know, partially I think of what was going on here is one of the reasons he could go on crusade is because he knew that he could just sort of like leave his mum in charge.

Okay.

So he leaves a council of regents, which is like a lot of the worthies of England in charge, like varying bishops, bigger landowners.

His mum is overseeing it.

And he's like, well, Lord knows she knows how to rule the kingdom.

So that's fine.

Oh, absolutely.

It's not super unusual.

We tend to think of it as unusual, but it happens.

So for example, now, granted, we did have the anarchy about it.
