Special shoutout to u/hergrim for staying so in character as Henry V that he wrote in Middle English... which was surprisingly easy for me to understand, at least as it was written.

I actually left some comments around the site in-character as Birger Magnusson ( /u/HwarLaghtiIakNykilin ) in Old Swedish, too. Doesn't seem very many can read them though :P

Thank you! It was a lot of fun translating the text and trying it make it appropriately archaic. There were actually a few times when I deliberately chose the minority spelling over the most common form, so it would have been even easier to read if I hadn't decided on maximum Ye Olde Ynglishness.
