The Last Testaments of Richard II and Henry IV

Love this, nestled in among the posts about forking httpx and similarity search in DuckDB. It makes me want to watch the BBC adaptation of Richard II again, and listen to The Rest Is History's episodes on the same period.

Fascinating article, and I never realized until now that I drive past the location of Richard II's original burial site every few days. (Apparently he was reburied at Westminster Abbey.)

If I'm in the position in future I'd love to do a history degree. I wasn't very interested in anything except computers when I was young.

This is why I love HN.

I don't know why this is on Hacker News but that was a great read.
