    All of them, actually - if you look carefully and consider various 'calligraphic variants' of the letters used. Gloucester stumped me for a while... And Cornwall actually is an exception (hint: his hat).

    I always thought that Cordelia didn't say her bit because daddy had dished out the goodies to the sisters after each speech ??? And as the eldest sister always took precedent so it left Cordelia with very little too 'grovel/flatter' with' even if she felt the need to.... Or at least that was our old Eng Lit teachers take on it ??????? Correct me if I'm wrong. Then again Shakespeare interpretation is like a pick'n' mix these days !!!!

    So, I am an absolute novice, but shouldn't it be ancient Britian Since the Angles were not around yet? Like I know it is just myth but isn't this story supposed to take place thousand of years even before Rome invaded?
