TNGF
SELECTED
Henry IV
primary
A man in his early 30s with a strong, athletic build, standing tall with an air of authority. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and piercing blue eyes that command attention. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and his posture exudes regal confidence.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, ascetic face, deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and weariness, and thin, pale lips. His white hair is neatly trimmed beneath his mitre, and his hands, though wrinkled, are steady as he performs the sacred rites.
Nobleman
secondary
A tall, middle-aged man with a sharp, angular face, piercing blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is upright, betraying his noble upbringing, though his expression carries a hint of skepticism.
Abbey Guard
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s, with weathered skin and a stern face. His dark hair is cropped short, and his eyes are constantly scanning the crowd. His calloused hands grip a halberd tightly, and his stance is firm and ready.
Commoner
background
A middle-aged man with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin, his hands rough from labor. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his beard is patchy and unkempt. His eyes are darting nervously, reflecting the tension of the moment.

Dialog

Archbishop of Canterbury By the grace of Almighty God and the authority of Holy Church, I place this crown upon thy head, Henry of Bolingbroke, that thou mayest rule justly and fear the Lord.
Henry IV I receive this burden not for mine own glory, but for the peace and weal of England, so help me God and all the saints.
Nobleman A crown taken is not a crown given—let us pray the realm does not bleed for this day's work.
Henry IV Let no man doubt that I shall govern as God’s anointed, with mercy for the meek and justice for the faithless.
Archbishop of Canterbury May the Lord grant thee wisdom, as He did Solomon, and strength, as He did David, that thy reign may endure.
Nobleman He speaks of Solomon, yet the whispers in the hall speak of Absalom. Time will tell which tale is writ.
