If it weren't for Henry's contemptible treatment of our cousin Katherine, we might have had a treaty with England long before now," Phillip said, his voice full of regret. "I have come to a time in my life when courtly intrigues are more tiresome than interesting. I know you are not responsible for the actions of your king. Times are changing and such things I will leave to my son." His mind was obviously still sharp. "Thank you for coming in to see me. Do tell Henry I send him my greetings and wish him well."
