I love the awkwardness between Richard and Philip here. It's painfully realistic.
She’ll need to save herself from Eleanor. He wishes her luck in it.
Ouch. That's tough.
every time he tries he remembers Capet’s grip on his wrist that last day in Acre That's a very poignant image.
It's hard not to feel sorry for Richard here, he seems to be cut off from the people he cares about the most. I suppose that's the price he had to pay...
I don't think much is known about Eleanor and Berengaria's relationship, and in Eleanor's defence she did intervene on Berengaria's behalf with John once Richard was dead, but I can't imagine she was an easy mother in law to have, certainly not if you were her favorite's son wife anyway.

Indeed, heavy hangs the head and all that.
