How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In both scenes, the Courtenay family and Poles are framed as the 'old guard' of Plantagenet lineage opposing Henry's rule; in S1 they scheme via proxy Carew, in S2 they are blamed for the rebellion, reinforcing their role as the persistent counterweight to Tudor authority."
