King of Swamp Castle: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

- But, Mother. - Father, lad. - But, Father, I don't want any of that. - Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, it was a swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on the swamp. But I built it all the same to show them. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank in the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you'll get, lad. - The strongest castle in these isles. - But I don't want any of that. - I'd rather... - Rather what? I'd rather just - sing. - Stop that. You're not going into a song while I'm here! In 20 minutes, you're marrying a girl whose father owns the biggest tracts of open land in Britain. - But I don't want land. - Listen, Alice. - Herbert. - Herbert. We live on a bloody swamp, we need all the land we can get. - But I don't like her. - Don't like her? What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich. She's got huge tracts of land. I know, but I want the girl that I marry to have a certain special something.
