My brother was too careless of his charge.—

 

Earl of Warwick

Henry the Sixth Part III                Act IV, Scene vi, Line 86

So then, who was the Earl’s brother, what was his charge (responsibility), and how did he come up short. Well, I don’t know who the Earl’s brother was, but apparently his charge was to guard Edward. We’re talking about Edward of the Yorks who deposed Henry the Sixth only to be deposed himself. This is the part of the story where the crown goes back and forth between Henry and Edward. The Earl’s brother came up short by allowing Edward to escape. Not good. So the crown will, in short order, go back to Edward, and thence on to Richard the Third. But that’s a story for another day.

Right Mojo?

Earl, Henry, Richard, Eward, Yorks...

Oyyy, enough already!

Somebody get me outta here!
