I get ALL THE WESTMINSTER HALL FEELS from that video -- Richard II spent years and thousands of pounds renovating it and the first thing that happened in it when he was done was that he got deposed in it. It's pretty amazing watching the scene (albeit heavily cut) performed in there.

(They also did the 2 Henry IV film in the Jerusalem Chamber. FEEEEEEEEEELS.)
