- Okay mom, we understand and we will.
- My dear sons, I love you more than anything in this world and your father has been mistreating me for years. Therefore, you must help me rebel.
- My love please forgive me I'm so sorry for my actions. This will never happen again just please let me go.
- Ultimately, Henry puts down the rebellion and imprisons Eleanor in a guarded tower for 15 years.
- No you betrayed me and tried to get our sons to turn against me, I can not forgive you. Goodbye Eleanor.
