The Infanta did notice but thought that Edmund was only dressing as a Spanish man to delight her! Edmund however had another plan in mind. He could not marry the Infanta if he was already married. So Edmund ordered Baldrick to abduct a Reverend Lloyd and Percy to find a suitable bride. Percy chose Tally Applebottom (played by Jane Freeman). But at the altar, while exchanging vows, Tally identified herself as Mrs. Applebottom. Edmund was surprised but had no time to search for another bride. The Reverend commented that marrying an already mar ...

However this gratitude did not secure his life. Edmund was the subject of a discussion between Richard IV and Gertrude. The latter was almost unable to believe that " the naughty little boy, whose bottom I had to smack for relieving himself in the font last Thursday" was also the Archbishop of Canterbury. Richard was for the first time pleased with Edmund. He toasted to " A long and healthy life to him! I thank God that in my lifetime never again shall I have to say, "Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?" ". (This phrase i ...

Edmund decided to discuss the appointment with his father. Richard informed him that "Do not be mistaken about this appointment, Edward. I have always despised you. You, compared to your beloved brother Harry, are as excrement as compared to cream! So now, my boy, when I have at last found a use for you, do not try to get out of it! ". Edmund did suggest choosing another man "equally weak-willed and feeble". His father countered that there is no such man. Edmund suggested choosing "someone who believed in God" unlike him ...

The activities of Edmund for the following several years remain unknown. His return to prominence occurred in 1492. That year, according to the narration, "the death of Randolph XII of Saxony and the collapse of the Treaty of Insects" threw Europe into disarray. "Kingdoms rose and fell; borders, even languages changed; men were killed by their own side and women raped by soldiers from up to seven different nations every week". Historically, at the time Saxony was divided between Prince-elector Frederick III the Wise (rei ...

At this point Pursuivant suggested a less violent test for Edmund himself. The procedure for it sounded simpler. "I place before the suspect a dagger and crucifix. The suspect is blindfolded, and if he picks up the dagger from the table, he is Satan's bedfellow." Finding the described test interesting, Harry advised his younger brother to go through with it in order to take himself out of the running. Edmund was still hesitant but finally agreed, having noted the locations of both artifacts on the table. Pursuivant however provided a ...

The last night of his unmarried life found Edmund thoroughly depressed. Even his own stag party was depressing. Consisting of only him, Percy and Baldrick, wearing antlers. The latter two were also moody. Though perhaps this had to do more with the dog prepared as their dinner. Baldrick attempted to console his Lord by pointing that his wife was a virgin.That gave Edmund another idea: " Or at least there are no living witnesses to the contrary. If she was not, we might still stand a chance. Officially, you have still got to be a virginSee also:

The trial begun as planned. But the audience was already obviously biased against the accused Prince. Edmund was allowed to have a defense. Lord Percy had apparently volunteered to present a defense for him. However, Percy was obviously intimidated by the calling for the defense.

The second day of the trial begun with exhibitions of hostility between the audience and the accused. Pursuivant then informed Edmund that the blessed "Satin the Confessor" was unable to be with them due to his untimely death. However Satin reportedly had time to make a signed confession: "I, Black Satin, confess that my former master, Edmund, is the servant of Satan and I spoke to him on the matter frequently over a gallon of stableboy's blood." Then Pursuivant called the second and last witness of the prosecution. Jane Firket ...

The seven men were soon discussing their plans in an inn while emptying goblets of beer. Friar Bellows suggested the motto of their enterprise: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall be slaughtered". The conspirators called for chaos, slaughter and flowers mercilessly crushed under foot. Edmund had a more coherent plan. Described by him as cunning in its simplicity. He would ride home and then send for them all through a black-haired messenger. They would gather in the tavern ...

While awaiting execution, Edmund and his two companions had their heads shaved. Each prisoner was attached to a ball and chain. Their attempts to bribe the guards in order for them to allow their escape failed - the guards had apparently been approached by many prisoners in this way and were unbribeable.

Edmund was already interested in the fate of the Duke and his lands. His informant Baldrick, however, had news only on the Duchess of Gloucester giving birth to twin goblins. (Historically the position was left vacant at the time. The last Duke was Richard III. The last Duchess was his consort Anne Neville, deceased since March 16, 1485). Messengers soon informed both Princes that the Duke had died along with the Archbishop. The surprisingly naive Harry was convinced of its status as an accident. The shrewdish Edmund however made sarcastic remarks, revealing knowledge of it being a murder and deducing the method an ...

After his comrades dispersed, Edmund's plan hit a severe setback. His supposed new friend the Morris Dancer cast off his disguise of an elderly man to reveal himself as Edmund's old enemy, Philip of Burgundy, nicknamed The Hawk. Philip had just arrived in England after 15 years of exile in France, an exile for which Edmund was apparently responsible. (Historically Philip was only 19 in January 1498. A Fleming by birth and upbringing, he was never exiled to France.) In revenge, Philip now incar ...

However, the supposed maids were in fact Percy and Baldrick in disguise. They had poisoned the wine to foil the Black Seal's plot. Just after drinking the wine, Philip and the Black Seal members promptly dropped dead on the spot. (Historically Philip did not die until 1506.)

The first person Edmund met after escaping from prison was a man seeking to sell six black homing pigeons. While the seller's initial asking price was six shillings, he generously invited Edmund to beat him up, tie him to a tree and steal the pigeons, an offer the Prince gratefully accepted. Edmund promptly sent the pigeons to fly to his fellow conspirators. Philip of Burgundy, however, beat the Black Seal to the royal castle. When the Black Seal arrived, Philip promptly persuaded them to abandon Edmund and adopt him as their leader. ...
