Henri IV as in ‘chicken in the pot’ king and ‘Paris is worth a mass’ (or ‘Paris is in a mess’ according to ‘1066 & All That’)? Big A-level history vibes for me, would absolutely listen.

That's the one! I open my second year module by telling students a large part of the class is going to be me trying to convince them Henri is so much cooler than his grandson. (That's not an official learning objective, I should add).
