* Shakespeare's ''Henry VI'' plays have, perhaps surprisingly, a lot of them -- the ones that stand out for are the death of Sir John Talbot and his son in part 1 and the scene in part 3 where [[{{Woobie}} King Henry]] meets two unnamed soldiers on the battlefield -- one who has unknowingly killed his father, and another who has unknowingly killed his son. (Really, though, anything Henry says in part 3 is a TearJerker.) Even [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Margaret]] gets one when her son is killed right in front of her.
