Favourites, Ministers, and Princes in England's History
Barrainnus argues that kings gain wisdom from the annals of their realms and warns against royal favourites guiding rulers. He urges princes to seek honest counsel, avoid being led by ministers, and maintain divine guidance rather than blame ministers for misrule. A second letter from Antelope warns a prince not to be led by a self-serving minister and to distinguish advice from coercion.
