 Analysis of Shakespeare's Sources for 1 Henry IV
Henry may be remorseful for usurping the throne and ordering the murder of Richard, but his method of penance seems to be too charged politically for guilt to be the main reason for his actions.
Henry is the archetypal Machiavellian ruler, and his attempt to wage a crusade is sheer brilliance according to Machiavellian doctrine.
Henry, in the drama, is immediately faced with the rebellion prophesied in Richard II once he takes office, and this subsequently gives a greater credibility to the idea that the rebellion is more a divine punishment than a simple, typical uprising that could happen to any king at any time.

 Henry VII and Castile
But it was clear that the kingdoms of Castile and Arragon had only been united by his marriage with Isabella; so that by the order of descent the former belonged now not to him, but to his daughter Joanna, the wife of the Archduke Philip, and she would convey the Crown to her husband.
Henry doubtless knew very well that even before this time the lady had shown unmistakable symptoms of insanity; but that did not deter him from a political match which would have handed over to him the government of Castile.
Henry had been willing, if the marriage could have been arranged, to reside at times in the Low Countries for their more efficient government; or he would have agreed, if desired, that the administration should still be carried on in the name of Margaret only.

The turbulent reign of Henry IV (1454-74) probably did little to erase old attitudes or alter the existing tradition of military education among the aristocracy; that era of chronic civil war offered little inducement for the grandees to eschew arms for the pleasures of the classics.
Castile, obviously, was training only a small minority of her young in Latin, yet in the crown's opinion, they were still far too many.
By the middle of the seventeenth century, however, Castile's depressed economy and the efforts of new noble families to protect their political prerogatives and social position made sure that Latin was stripped of this particular role.
