Edward III's brash confidence in the face of his ministers' caution reminds me of similar episodes from the life of Alexander the Great. Parmenion is always presenting a voice of caution to balance the temerity of his dauntless king.
At least Edward never had Stratford executed. Though the comparison between the two kings is welcome. Edward had a bed with images from Alexander’s career so he would appreciate it.
