    The Town Criers of the Realm



    Bells are the main medium of telling time and making announcements. A Common Bell is rung to summon civic meetings, courts, and as an alarm in case of fire or attack. The town crier rings a hand bell when he walks throughout the town declaiming news and proclamations. The criers are the main source of news for the city dwellers. They also have the task of ringing their bells to solicit prayers in memory of people who had paid for the privilege...

    The town criers call out excitedly of the news that Jerusalem had fallen to the mighty armies of Christendom, and the pagan infidel had been destroyed as they fled for their lives.

    it stirs up the white-waved sea.
    I do not fear the coursing of the Irish sea
    by the fierce warriors of Lothlind.

    Whispers begin to build across the land. The King is dead. Killed by those who follow the Prophet Mohammed. No, he was killed in a storm with the majority of the army that went east. No, he was killed by a particularly difficult bowel movement. Whatever the case, the whispers were increasing and people believed. The King that had little claim to the throne in the first place is dead, who could now legitimately succeed a bastard?

    Archbishop Marcelo Ferrington has declared Baron de Clare's Kingship Void and has therefore Excommucated the baron. The baron will not be able to Receive Commuon or anything until he Repents for his sins

    ( And Yes I have the power to do this and do not worry. I will Roleplay the reason but mainly its because he declared himself king and what not.)

    Hi All

    Lets keep this all separate for now I reckon, makes it more fun, Adamat and Ace can settle there thing in Sicily, and England continues on unawares of the Kings death and new King. More fun this way.

    King Richard Archer names Baron de Clare his heir though kinship, and abdicates the throne due to his serious, but not mortal injury.

    Excommunication: Lord William de Vassy



    The Archbishop of Canterbury hereby declares Lord William de Vassy excommunicated from the church, he shall hence forth be deprived from all holy sacraments and Christian privileges. Lord de Vassy has committed unforgivable acts against the Church and God, the heretic known as William de Vassy must be punished for his crimes against the Church and God. The crimes are as listed the assault of an archbishop of the church, attempting to forge official documents of the church, committing Heresy by placing an archbishop of the church beaten and naked on a donkey to be marched along the walls of London, the slaughter of innocent men in attempt to usurp the rightful King of England God's representative on earth.

    DECLARATION OF REPENTANCE OF LORD WILLIAM DE VASSY OF NOTTINGHAM,

    1110 Anno Domini


    I recognise that I have sinned against the Church and against God by harming a Papally ordained representative of the Church, Henry Burke, Archbishop of Canterbury. However, these crimes were for a reason. His Grace the Archbishop was found inside a barn committing sodomy with a local Farmer, as well as attempting to convince me to turn from the rightful path of the church and take part in Satanic rituals. Therefore, I attempted to make the Archbishop cease with his madness; my methods were not entirely pure, although I hereby do swear I did not stray from the path of the Lord our God. I did not condemn any man to slaughter who was not guilty of the crime of treason by serving the faithless and accursed Richard de Clare; a man who the Archbishop had seemingly convinced to take up his Satanic faith and claim the Christian throne of England.

    Seeing as the Archbishop cannot prove the crimes of Heresy and Forgery, I shall repent the crimes I recognise by fasting for a day as well as donating alms to the poor and impoverished of London, as well as rebuilding the damage caused by Richard De Clare's men.


    Forgive me, for I know god has already done so
    :


    WILLIAM DE VASSY, LORD OF NOTTINGHAM AND RIGHTFUL KING OF ENGLAND.

    To Arms Children of Faith

    The time hath come faithful Sons of the church to capture Lord Nottingham to face punishment for his crimes against God and to expell his Godless pagan army. It is without question that God has abandoned Lord William de Vassy and any man whom follows him. they shall all be denied entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven instead they will burn in the eteneral fires of purgatory and suffer the evil torments of Lucifier. Come faithful children rally behind the church and protect your soul from eteneral damnation, secure your Soul within the Kingdom of Heaven.

    If you would side with a sodomite and a heretic, then your soul is already lost.

    All lords of northern England are required to raise their levies to meet with the king at Bamburgh! The lords of southern England and Normandy are only obligated to send half of their levy to the gathering.
