This loss enraged his cousin Richard, a nasty, deformed, but clever man who was lord of the fields of white roses, and who raised 400 pound attack boars for a hobby. Henry's other cousins, who lorded over the fields of red roses were merely annoyed. They felt that Henry was a good man. He was a quiet visionary gentleman, with a good raport with the heavenly father. As time passed, Richard's fury grew, and he openly proclaimed that he, not Henry should run the plantation. This of course caused many bad feelings. These feelings came to a head one spring evening, when Henry was hosting a fancy feast, with all of the local royalty attending except (for obvious reasons) Richard. When this fest was in full swing, Richard burst in, with five of his biggest most viscious attack boars. And they tore up the feast, and the people turning it into a grotesque study of blood and flesh. When this was done and only Richard and a few others were left alive, Gruesome Richard proclaimed "Now is the dinner of our wistful gent wrent gory assunder by this ton of pork !"
