Table of Contents Act III, Scene IV Summary Talbot is in Paris to pay his respects to the King. The King welcomes him and to show his appreciation of Talbot’s several victories creates him the Earl of Shrewsbury. Veron, a servant of York’s, strikes Basset, Somerset’s servant. The latter resolves to seek redress for this wrong by presenting his case to the King. Notes Henry VI is crowned in Paris, and Talbot is there to pay his respects. As the young King’s words reveal, Talbot had served his father, Henry V. In this scene, the past and the present come together: the past in the form of Talbot, who embodies in himself all the valor of yesteryears and the present in the form of the young, inexperienced king. The quarrel between Vernon and Basset reveals that the dispute between their masters is still smoldering. This quarrel is only an overt manifestation of the hostility that exists between the two men.
