Nick Barber: Edmund De La Pool

Quotes 

• Maggie Pole : Edmund.

  Edmund De La Pool : It's been too long, Cousin Maggie. I'm sorry about the disguise, but the Tudors mean to have my head.

  Maggie Pole : It is true, then. You would take the Tudor crown.

  Edmund De La Pool : And I need your help. You must visit each of our cousins in turn, all those still loyal to the house of York, and speak to them in person, no letters. Tell them I must bring...

  Maggie Pole : I will tell them nothing. I have children I would like to see grow old.

  Edmund De La Pool : Maggie, our family ruled this land long before Henry Tudor stole the crown from us. It is your birthright as a Plantagenet.

  Maggie Pole : My birthright is a diet of betrayal and of grief. I am sick of others asking me to risk my life for their political gain.

  Edmund De La Pool : You think I cannot overturn the Tudors?

  Maggie Pole : Just because you think your cause is the right one, it doesn't make you any different from them.

  Edmund De La Pool : Then you're against me.

  Maggie Pole : I am neither for nor against you, cousin. I wish only to be left in peace. Don't contact me again, Edmund. May God have mercy on you.
