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 ...

Edmund set forth into England in search of the six other "Most Evil Men in the Kingdom". He intended to recruit them in an effort to take over the Kingdom. By order of recruitment, the men included were: Sir Wilfred Death (played by John Hallam). A skilled dueler. Three-Fingered Pete (played by Roger Sloman). An archer. Guy de Glastonbury (played by Patrick Malahide). An crossbowman and early highwayman. Sean, the Irish Bastard (played by Ron Cook). A daggerman who preyed on beggars. Friar Bel ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Edmund resolved to become more assertive, giving himself the title The Black Vegetable. Baldrick instead suggested The Black Adder, which Edmund wisely adopted, although few people were aware of his nom de guerre and only Dougal McAngus ever called him by it (and that sarcastically). A less fortunate consequence of his experience in battle was that Edmund found himself haunted by the ghost of his great-uncle (in a manner clearly similar to Macbeth's haunting by Banquo's.) At one point the ghost chased him into a foggy me ...

In 1486, the second year of his reign and reportedly "the year in which the egg replaced the worm as the lowest form of currency", King Richard IV departed his Kingdom to join a new Crusade against the Ottoman Empire under Bayezid II. Prince Harry was appointed Regent for the duration of his absence. Edmund saw the event as his "chance for some real power". However the winter of 1486/1487 found Edmund flocking sheep. Harry at least bothered to personally inform him that their father would return by St. Leonard's Day and ...

Although many different types of deck have been known and used in Europe since the introduction of playing cards around the 14th century (see playing cards)—and several different ones are still used in various regions for various games—almost all of them have in common that: there are exactly four suits (possibly with the addition of some non-suited cards, see below); the cards within each suit are distinguished from one another by bearing different numbers or names, known as ranks; the ranks serve t ...

After the Roman empire collapsed in the West in the fifth century, Latin continued to be used as the language of learning and diplomacy for some centuries. The Eastern Roman, or Byzantine emperors, were referred to as imperatores in Latin texts. After 800, the imperator was used (in conjunction with augustus) as a formal Latin title in succession by the Carolingian and German Holy Roman Emperors until 1 ...

The Lusitani, who were Indo-European and may have come from the Alps, established themselves in the region in the 6th century BC, but historians and archeologists are still undecided about their origins. Some modern authors consider them to be an indigenous people who were initially dominated by the Celts, before gaining full independence from them. This hypothesis is also backed by Avienus, who wrote ORA MARITIMA, inspired by documents from 6th century BC. The investigator Lambrino defended the position that the Lusita ...

Dougal McAngus soon arrived with recently won Turkish treasures and news from the crusaders. 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 ...

Later, Edmund had the chance to examine the letters himself. 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. Soon enough, an excited Edmund revealed the letters and their contents to the members of the Royal court, claiming Harry to be illegitimate and the King dec ...

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 ...

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! ".

November, 1487 started a new chapter in the conflicts between The Crown and Church of England. The Duke of Winchester, greatest landowner in England, was dying, presumably without heir. (Historically the Peers of Winchester were known as the Earl of Winchester or Marquess of Winchester. The title was at the time held by Lewis de Bruges, 1st Earl of Winchester, who would not die until 1492).

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 ...

Claudius wrote copiously throughout his life. Arnaldo Momigliano[35] states that during the reign of Tiberius — which covers the peak of Claudius' literary career — it became impolitic to speak of republican Rome. The trend among the young historians was to either write about the new empire or obscure antiquarian subjects. Claudius was the rare scholar who covered both. Besides the history of Augustus' reign that caused him so much grief, his major works included an Etruscan history and eight vol ...

The Quirinal Hill is today identified with the palazzo del Quirinale, the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic and one of the symbols of the State. The healthy cool air of the Quirinal attracted aristocrats and papal families who built villas. A visit to the villa of Cardinal Luigi d'Este in 1573 convinced Pope Gregory XIII to start the building of a summer residence the following year, in an area considered healthier than the Vatican Hill or Lateran: his architects were Flaminio Ponzio and Ottaviano Nonn ...

In 60 BC (or 59 BC) the Centuriate Assembly elected Caesar senior Consul of the Roman Republic. His junior partner was his political enemy Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus, an Optimate and personal friend of Marcus Porcius Cato. Bibulus' first act as Consul was to retire from all political activity in order to search the skies for omens. This apparently pious decision was designed to make Caesar's life difficult during his Consulship. Roman satirists ever after referred to the year as "the consulship of Julius and Caesar". ...
