As everyone starts building brackets for March Madness and as we finish Shakespeare’s Henriad, Martin and I decided to put our own spin on the tradition by ranking and pitting characters from the Henriad against each other in a bracket of match-ups!

Would you like to help? We’ve pulled 64 characters (or “teams”) from the eight plays that make up the Henriad and grouped them into “Regions,” each making up two plays. You can find these characters and regions in the PDF here, as well as brief descriptions of each character in case you don’t recognize some of them.

Make your own bracket using the list if you like. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting match-up polls both on YouTube and Patreon and combining the results to see who will advance each round. Keep your eyes out for each poll and help us figure out who is going all the way to victory!
