He starts with the lesson that poor men are better off than princes when they get married because princes have to marry what is brought to them (Yeah, he third person neuters his potential wives)… Although I hear all the middle aged men in 1540 England looking for wife number 4 while carrying some very scary baggage would say that being very rich and powerful and important would be monumentally helpful in getting ‘something good’ on the marriage market… Commoners, they just don’t know anything, do they Henry?
