    Default the kings tent

    It was the day before they were due to board ships and set sail for the carthage coast. When king Richard went for a ride with a pretty Italian girl on his horse. As it turns out there are some things that are hard to do with a pretty Italian girl while riding a horse, and midway through Richard slips and tumbles to the ground. Giggling I'd prevalent at first, until Richard tries to get up and feels nothing bit pain. He cannot feel his legs, and as panic sets in he begins to scream for a doctor ...

    The Baron Veux who was ridding nearby arrives with the finest Doctor that could be found in Sicily as well as one of the local priests. He has read the ancient texts of medicine by Aristotle and knows a great deal of the human body.

    What is the matter my King?

    Having received the news from a rider in Veux's retinue, De Beaumont arrives as well. He waits for the doctor to speak while his man raise a pavilion to shield the wounded King from the sun...

    The Doctor looks at the King and gives the first part of his diagnosis

    It appears that you have broken you back. Here is hoping that it is not permanent. He turns to the people present I require a herb by the name of Tameria. It is similar to St Johns Wart. Then place the herb onto the Kings back wrap the body in Linen. Then the King should not move from this spot for a period of 40 days. As he is about to start the treatment another local doctor this time a man from the east also arrives and he recommends another course of action.

    I recommend that the patient is placed into a prone position where I will stand upon part of his back and attempt to remove the hump that has now formed on the Kings back. After that he will require surgery where we shall cut open his spine and attempt to remove the fragments of bone that will no doubt be there.

    With that both doctors begin to argue long and hard about the right course of action waiting for someone to break in and tell them what to do.

    Earl Leicester decided to be the man that was desired, separating both doctors and bringing his own chirurgin forward, a most pious man who styled himself 'Samwell the Saver'.

    "Ah, yes, i see,"
    the Saver ominously said after walking around the King a few times and touching the mess on his back. "Don't worry, you can be Saved by Samwell." He began, and without further ado he called his assistant, Tommy the Butcher's Boy. "Ahem. Scalpel please," the Doctor said, and Tommy drew a big, sharp kitchen knife. "I shall extract the hump first, before it begins to swell and burst. Allow me, My King, i know what i'm doing."

    ooc; i'm assuming that ace, adamat and blacky are here. Since everyone else seems to have run off to nick my kingdom

    GET BACK NOW.

    You physicians, outside. I will speak to my nobles before you do anything.

    Glaring he waits for them to comply. Then turns his head to the nobles.

    I am no fool, i have seen such wounds before. I will be lucky to live, let alone walk again. I cannot be king in such a state. Though i do not desire abdicating, it seems i must.

    YOU! serving boy grab me my crown.

    Richard holds his hand to prevent them from speaking while the boy does as he is told.

    I will give this to the one i deem my heir. He must be strong enough to hold the crown. Lord de Clare it is yours. I hearby abdicate in your favour. You have all witnessed this. Now, all of you, bugger off and leave me alone with the king for a minute.

    Earl Leicester was shocked. "My King..." he said. "I will not follow a bastard Baron. De Clare is not only just a pretender to the throne, he isn't even a good Englishman. His single barony is in Normandy, not Albion. I reject his rule, Your Grace, and me and my men shall be departing now. Not a second longer will i stay in a pretender's camp."

    With that, the infuriated Earl Leicester departed quickly... He and his army were off before anyone could stop them, bound Northward.

    Ooc: I shall wait a day or so before making the crossing to England.

    The Baron Veux eyebrows raise. I shall return to England at once to determine the situation. With this the Baron and his army depart

    Richard looks at the barons who so swiftly left, and smiled slightly at Veux. He was undoubtedly the smarter of the two. Not just outright declaring his disgust. Then he turns to the new king and waits for the man to say something, anything.

    de Clare recovers from the shock of being named king and says

    Cousin, I shall do my utmost to live up to your memory and that of our ancestors and be a strong and brave king. And I shall hunt down that bastard Leichester with all due speed and deliver upon him a slow and painful death for his betrayal of you on your deathbed

    Richard snorted.

    I'm not sure this is my death bed. But i will be unable to walk, or rule this realm again. Yours will not be an accepted rule i suspect, and i hope to be named adviser if you manage to hold on to it.

    de Clare smiles


    Thank god in heaven you shall not die then, I shall make you advisor when we return to England, but now I must hunt down Leichester

    The New king stands and afixes the crown to his head, then jogs out and shouts orders to have the royal army make ready to move to intercept the treasonous Earl
