GPS...hmm bit too quiet, what's brewing?

 

[Hawklord]

There is a force of English on the continent. WE are not happy with their presence and wonder what they hope to achieve. We will continue to keep an eye on them.

HMGalley Cherub is anchored off Our capital of Chippenham awaiting Our pleasure ...

We have founded a new city of Canterbury ... Our versatile staff is busy cleaning and preparing the new summer estates for Our visit ... One wonders how many tales will be told about the commings and goings in this city ...

We have met the Caliph Abd Ar-Rahman of Cordova ... We are not sure about them ... their ways seem strange to Us ...

We feel that the Caliph Abd Ar-Rahman of Cordova is not what One would call a charming neighbour ... already he makes demands on Our time and activities ... apparently Our ship the Eros has drifted into his seas ...

All in Canterbury are busy ...


Written Message To the Ruler of the French ...

Please stand down ... your spittled vulgarities burn Our ears ... The land was vacant now it is not ... very simple ... end of story ...

We shall get the Royal Scribe to pen this ... ummm ... diplomatic exchange into the Tales of Canterbury ...

Now begone and learn manners ... All of your loud blusterings is giving Us the vapours ... In future follow the ettiquette and protocols of the Court

Yours always

Could trouble be brewing strange land. Lets watch from afar, or shall take part in the preceding? GPS.

 

[Magzi]

Hmm, the English and French squabbling?
This I will keep watching from afar to see what develops.

 

[Hawklord]

We are beginning to suspect the English motives. There are many English troops on the continent. One wonders why?
One also wonders who will protect the English island if all of their troops are swanning around on the continent.

The Caliph Abd Ar-Rahman of Cordova has strange customs and manners ... We are assulted daily by an outre' of spicey foreign odours and exotically strange music ...

Hear me Oh Frenchgirlie Girl ... be not fooled by Our splendid dress of delicate ruffels and exquisite pearls ... Our armour is close to hand ... and our sword even closer ... Keep thee off Our Green and Pleasant Isles ... or your plain looks will not be your only concern ...

And to the rest of you peekers and peepers ... we are utterly amazed ... We mistook the French boasts for empty jestings ... however We stand corrected ... it trully does seem that they speak for you all in matters of land usage and title ... One wonders what monetary rental you pay your French overlords ... or what anatomy is expected to be kissed while you are all on bended knee ...
