I'm willing to bet that he is. Prince John is SUCH a smug little git. "God and not we hath safely fought today," indeed. Slimy little bastard!

I know I have seen at least one chronicle account of Hal's reconciliation with his father that discussed of the Garment of Pointiness -- it may have been from Hall's chronicle (a likely source for Famous Victories, which would have been published before the 1587 revision of Holinshed), or possibly from one of the medieval sources, I'm not sure. I don't know as much about the medieval historiographical background of the Henry IVs as I do about that of Richard II. I shall have to do some digging on EEBO, as now I am curious.
