TNGF
SELECTED
Henry II
primary
A lean and vigorous man in his early twenties, with auburn hair cropped short in the Norman style and piercing green eyes that seem to miss nothing. His clean-shaven face bears the faint marks of childhood freckles, and his posture exudes regal confidence despite his youth.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
A tall, elderly man with a stern yet dignified countenance, his silver hair thinning at the crown. His piercing blue eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, suggesting years of contemplation and authority. His hands are long and delicate, accustomed to handling sacred texts and performing rituals.
Queen Eleanor
secondary
A striking woman in her early thirties, with a tall and graceful build. Her fair complexion is complemented by piercing blue eyes and auburn hair, which is elegantly braided and covered by a sheer veil. Her posture exudes regal authority, with hands clasped delicately in front of her.
Bishop
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly stooped posture, indicative of years spent poring over religious texts. His thinning grey hair is neatly tonsured, and his pale blue eyes convey a quiet intensity. His hands are delicate yet strong, accustomed to handling sacred vessels.
Nobleman
background
A middle-aged baron with a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes. His tall, lean frame suggests a life of noble privilege without the rigors of manual labor. His high forehead and sharp features convey intelligence and a calculating nature.
Noblewoman
background
A woman in her early 30s, with a slender yet poised build. Her fair complexion is framed by dark brown hair, partially concealed beneath an elegant veil. High cheekbones and a sharp, observant gaze suggest both nobility and intelligence.

Dialog

Archbishop of Canterbury By the authority vested in me by Holy Church, I anoint thee, Henry Plantagenet, as rightful sovereign of this realm. Do you swear to uphold the laws of God and the liberties of the Church?
Henry II By God's eyes, I so swear—though let it be known a king's justice must flow as freely as Church sacraments.
Archbishop of Canterbury The Lord's anointed must remember that temporal power derives from divine grace alone.
Henry II And divine grace shall have my loyal service—so long as Rome recalls England's customs predate their latest decretals.
Archbishop of Canterbury May God grant you wisdom to rule with mercy, as Solomon did of old.
