Eliza De La Pool : Dear God, save us. My brothers are all dead and now we shall be next.
John De La Pool Snr : He dates his kingship from the day before the battle, so we are all names traitors.
Princess Elizabeth : But he cannot simply...
Eliza De La Pool : Well, he has. And Parliament has allowed it.
Duchess Cecily : Or his mother did! That woman's waited half her life to take her vengeance on the House of York.
Eliza De La Pool : I am so sorry for your sons. The England we once knew is gone, and with it chivalry and honor.
Dowager Queen Elizabeth : We are Yorks, Eliza. We do not quake in fear. We must see how this plays out.
Lord Strange : You will appear before the king.
Margaret Plantagenet : You must not speak unless I tell you to. Dear Teddy. Now... Hold my hand tightly, now.

Henry VII : Step forward. Which one of you is John de la Pole, the Earl of Lincoln? The dead York king named you his heir before the battle. You understand that this has been revoked and you are now heir to nothing?
Sir Thomas Stanley : Do you understand that?
John De La Pool Jnr : I pledge by allegiance to you, Your Grace.
Duchess Cecily : I do not. You are not the king, in law nor in God's eyes. And while you may have killed my son and stolen his crown, you are descended from a servant. And while my grandson may impersonate his fealty, I bow only to God and to my own conscience.
Eliza De La Pool : Mother. Please...
Duchess Cecily : Your sister in Burgundy would never stoop so low.
Henry VII : And she has had her trading licenses revoked so you should shut your mouth!
Jasper Tudor : You may be glad you are an old woman whose noise is of no consequence to His Grace. You will swear fealty or be thrown into the Tower.
Duchess Cecily : Jasper Tudor. You would not dare.
Jasper Tudor : Take her away.
Duchess Cecily : You can't. You will release me! Let me walk.
Henry VII : Who are these?
Lord Strange : Edward and Margaret Plantagenet, son and daughter of George, Duke of Clarence.
Sir Thomas Stanley : The Earl of Warwick, Your Grace. The last York heir...
Henry VII : I'm aware.
Margaret Plantagenet : Your Grace.
Edward Plantagenet aka Teddy : One day, I'll be king.
Margaret Plantagenet : He doesn't mean it. Our Uncle Richard once thought Teddy might be king but... well... Teddy isn't. Well, even Richard changed his mind... but he remembers. We are just children.
Henry VII : Do you swear allegiance to me as your king?
Margaret Plantagenet : We do.
Henry VII : And renounce your York claim to the English throne?
Margaret Plantagenet : Yes. We do not want it. And Teddy doesn't either.
Henry VII : Then he may say so for himself.
Margaret Plantagenet : He...
[whispers to Teddy]
Margaret Plantagenet : Teddy tell the king that you love him. What did you say to your Uncle Richard?
Edward Plantagenet aka Teddy : Long live the King!
Henry VII : Your grandfather's lands of Warwick and Salisbury are confiscated, hereby given to Lord Thomas and Lord William Stanley in reward for their fealty at Bosworth.
Sir Thomas Stanley : Thank you, Your Grace.
