Battle of North Walsham

The Battle of North Walsham reaches its climax as Geoffrey Litster, leader of the Peasants' Revolt, rallies his poorly armed forces against the heavily armored royal troops led by Henry le Despenser,

Setting

A burning village square in North Walsham, Norfolk, England. The square is surrounded by thatched-roof cottages, some already ablaze, with smoke billowing into the sky. The cobbled ground is uneven and littered with debris from the fighting.

TNGF
SELECTED
Geoffrey Litster
primary
A burly man in his late 30s with a weathered face, sunken eyes, and a thick, unkempt beard. His muscular frame bears the marks of hard labor, and his hands are calloused from years of working the land. A deep scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to past conflicts.
Henry le Despenser
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 40s with a stern, weathered face and piercing blue eyes. His broad shoulders and upright posture exude authority, and his neatly trimmed beard adds to his dignified appearance. His hands are strong, accustomed to both the sword and the bishop's crozier.
Peasant Archer
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties, with sunburnt skin and calloused hands from years of labor. His lean frame is tense with the effort of drawing his bow, muscles straining against the weight of the yew stave. A jagged scar runs across his left cheekbone, a recent souvenir from the rebellion.
Knight Captain
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a square jaw and short-cropped brown hair, slightly graying at the temples. His face is weathered from years of campaigning.
Village Elder
background
A frail, elderly man with deeply lined skin and a hunched posture, his white hair thinning and disheveled. His hands are gnarled from years of labor, and his face is streaked with soot and sweat.
