More about this scene

There was once a ferry crossing near here and it's said that the future King Henry IV was using the ferry when he received the news that his son had just been born at Monmouth. In grateful thanks for the safe delivery of his heir, Henry gave the boatman sole rights to the ferry and monies earned from it - a perk that the boatman's family were to enjoy for some centuries to come.
