character with an eye patch?


Hey everyone, this might be a boring question but does anyone remember the character with an eye patch? I don't remember the season but he had dark hair and i'm sure he slept with some lady in the court lol

Alan van Sprang played the character.

"..and I mean that from the heart of my bottom.."

anyone know how he looses his eye? he doesn't have an eye patch when we first meet him

"..and I mean that from the heart of my bottom.."

I don't believe it was ever said on the show, but it was a jousting accident.

BTW If you like the actor Alan Van Sprang, he recently played King Henry II of France in a couple seasons of Reign which is about Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth.

Well, I'm not an unemployed loser or college student whose obsessed with English royalty. I work in government which is more important than discussing the history of royal politics. Thank you for giving me proof to back up your claim.

No worries.

Just curious, what made you think it was tennis?

That guy was awesome, Sir Francis Bryan. It's too bad he was only in one season, i read that he was a friend of the king's for a long time, longer than most others
