And I think that was what he was better at, you know, across his life.
I mean, across his life, we do see him occasionally in these fighting situations, but much more commonly, we see him doing things like diplomacy, secret business of the king, carrying letters, peace treaties.
That's more his thing.
But then we actually don't see him in the records for several years.
So between 1360 and 1366, we're not sure what he's doing.
He was doing something to do with other royal households, as he had been for Elizabeth and Lionel.
Yeah.
So he's married to Philippa de Rohe.
They were married till the late 80s when she dies.
They had at least three children.
And when he's in royal service, he's getting an annuity from the king, also from other people at various times.
He's also paid in wine.
So he gets a pitcher of wine a day, which later on becomes a tonne of wine a year, which is something like 252 gallons.
He probably didn't drink all that.
He was probably giving it out to people.
But, you know, wine is an ongoing thread.
Yeah.
It was probably about a gallon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
