TNGF
SELECTED
Richard I (Richard the Lionheart)
primary
A tall, powerfully built man in his early thirties with auburn hair and piercing blue eyes. His fair complexion is slightly weathered from years of campaigning. He carries himself with the natural authority of a warrior-king, his broad shoulders squared and his stance unyielding.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, ascetic face, deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and weariness, and thin white hair barely visible beneath his mitre. His hands are slightly gnarled with age but move with deliberate precision during the sacred rite.
Queen Mother
secondary
Eleanor of Aquitaine, a striking woman in her late 60s with sharp, intelligent features and piercing eyes that betray her keen political mind. Her once-vibrant auburn hair is now streaked with silver, elegantly braided and covered with a delicate veil. Her posture is regal, and her presence commands attention despite her age.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged baron with a sturdy build, his face weathered from years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a short tail. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His hands, clasped in fealty, show callouses from swordplay.
Cheering Commoner
background
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, sunburnt from working outdoors, and a sturdy build typical of laborers. His hands are calloused, and his dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back loosely with a leather thong.
Young Page
background
A boy of about 12 years, slight of build with a mop of unruly brown hair and freckles dusting his nose. His wide, hazel eyes are filled with awe as he gazes up at the newly crowned king. His hands, though small, grip the heavy train of Richard's robe with determination.
Dialog
Archbishop of Canterbury
Accipe coronam regni, quae licet ab indignis tamen nostris manibus imponitur capiti tuo, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Richard I
By the blood of Christ, we accept this burden not for our own glory, but for the defense of Christendom and the realm.
Nobleman
My liege, I pledge my sword and my lands to your service, as my ancestors did to yours.
Richard I
Rise, loyal vassal. Together we shall see Jerusalem freed from the infidel.
Archbishop of Canterbury
May God grant you wisdom and strength, Your Majesty, to rule with justice and piety.
Richard I
We shall ride forth as God's own champion, with His blessing and the prayers of our people.
Nobleman
Long live King Richard! Long live the Lionheart!
