He also transported the regards of his father to the Queen consort. (McAngus was unaware that during his journey to England his father had died and that he was now Fourth Duke of Argyll.) Harry then attempted to introduce Dougal to Edmund. With Dougal mistaking the younger Prince for a eunuch, the two got off to a bad start. When Edmund introduced himself as the Duke of Edinburgh, McAngus complaine ...

| | | | Prince Edmund Blackadder - First encounter with Dougal McAngus: Encyclopedia II - Prince Edmund Blackadder - Battle of Bosworth Field There is no contemporaneous account of Prince Edmund's life until 21 August 1485. His first appearance on record seems to have been at a feast on the eve of the Battle of Bosworth Field. There King Richard III of England (cf. Peter Cook) gathered his supporters to make war against Henry Tudor. Lord Edmund Plantagenet, as he then was, arrived in the company of his father the Duke of York and brother, Harry, Earl of March.
However, when Edmund cheered for the King the latter had to enquire as to the former's identity. As his own father ...

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.
Prior to his execution Edmund was visited by his mother and wife. At eleven Leia was apparently too young to feel concern over the event of being about to become a widow. She thought her bald husband looked funny. Leia informed the "b ...

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 ...

At some point they were visited by the Queen consort. Who supposed this was what came of being a witch. Edmund complained and claim to have not ever been one.

On Saint Juniper's Day, in early January 1498, King Richard IV followed tradition in lavishing new honours upon his kinfolk. He started by giving a short speech: " Saint Juniper once said, "By his loins shall ye know him and by the length of his rod shall he be measured." The length of my rod is a mystery t ...

Edmund promptly sent the pigeons to fly to his fellow conspirators.

Finding the described test interesting, Harry advised his younger brother to go through with it in order to take himself out of the running.

They were dated 1460, year of birth for his brother. McAngus even suggested to Edmund that: "If you played your cards right, you could become King ", and sooner than he thought. He claimed Richard IV was last seen entering Constantinople alone, armed with a fruit knife and facing 10,000 Turks armed with scimitars.
