KING HENRY IV ISSUE - INCARNATIONS
I've already found out earlier who were incarnations of five (out of six) Henry IV Bollingbroke's children with his wife Mary de Bohun. For that last one, I had suspicions, if not outright thought that it's impracticable. I thought at first that it was impossible to detect anything out of the man whose only smaller part of his face peeked out of the armour (I'm talking about the statue of Thomas, Duke of Clarence). Then, I tried to help myself with Photoshop, and cut out the peeking part, supplementing it with tan, instead of green color. Picture got bit clearer, but still far from the solution. Then I singled out about dozen pictures of celebrities, mostly actors, who seemed to me more or less plausible lookalikes. Eventually, I narrowed my search to only two – Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas. My last choice was the latter one, and I think he was the right one. So, in my opinion, Thomas, Duke of Clarence present incarnation is nobody but – actor Kirk Douglas. Now we have all the Henry IV issue, that is, their incarnations:
Henry V, King of England [1386-1422] – PETER FONDA (1939)
Thomas, Duke of Clarence [1388-1421]– KIRK DOUGLAS (1916)
John, Duke of Bedford [1389-1435]– GENE WILDER (1935-2016)
Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester [1390-1447]– MICHAEL CAINE (1933)
Blanche, Electress Palatine [1392-1409]– JANE FONDA (1937)
Philippa, Queen of Denmark [1394-1430] – COBIE SMULDERS (1982)
