TNGF
SELECTED
Queen Mary I
primary
A woman of 37 years, with a pale complexion and piercing dark eyes that command attention. Her face bears the marks of hardship and determination, with faint lines around her mouth and eyes. She stands with a regal posture, her shoulders squared and chin slightly raised, embodying the authority of her newly claimed throne.
Stephen Gardiner
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a stout build, his sharp features marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His thinning grey hair is neatly trimmed, and his pale complexion suggests years spent indoors in scholarly and ecclesiastical pursuits.
Tudor Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a well-groomed auburn beard and sharp features. His posture exudes confidence, though his eyes dart frequently between the queen and Bishop Gardiner.
Citizen Woman
background
A middle-aged woman of modest stature, her face weathered by years of labor, with deep-set eyes that glisten with tears. Her hands, rough from work, clutch a string of rosary beads tightly.
Royal Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late thirties with a weathered face and piercing blue eyes. His short, dark beard is neatly trimmed, and his muscular build suggests years of rigorous training. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Dialog
Queen Mary I
By the grace of Almighty God and the will of our late sovereign lord King Edward, we do now rightfully claim the throne of England, to restore Holy Mother Church and the true faith to this realm.
Stephen Gardiner
The jurisdiction of Rome must be reestablished with all prudent haste, Your Grace, lest heresy take root anew in these troubled times.
Tudor Nobleman
Deo volente, Her Majesty's most... prudent decision shall bring peace to the realm.
Queen Mary I
Let all who bear witness know this day marks an end to England's lamentable schism from Catholic unity. We shall be mother to this nation as the Virgin is mother to the Church.
Stephen Gardiner
The ecclesiastical courts stand ready to examine those who embraced the late innovations, should Your Grace wish to demonstrate merciful... thoroughness.
