Hm, I haven't got much on at the weekend, so that would suit me if that's OK with you? (Have had a rather heavy few days...) But congratulations on getting so close to the end; talk about sustained efforts! In conjunction with everything else you've been doing that's an impressive achievement.
In H4 part 2, King Henry tells Thomas he's Hal's favourite brother. This was projection on the king's part because Thomas was his favourite son! Our Henry didn't trust him an inch; in fact he went to great pains to keep him away from power. John was left at home as regent on the Agincourt campaign, and Thomas was taken, but was soon 'invalided' home where he would be under John's jurisdiction. And Thomas was a long way down the list of beneficiaries of Henry's will. No love lost there at all!
