TNGF
SELECTED
King Edgar the Peaceful
primary
A young man of 29 years with a lean but strong build, standing tall with an air of quiet dignity. His fair complexion is framed by shoulder-length golden-brown hair, neatly combed for the occasion, and a short, well-groomed beard. His piercing blue eyes reflect both youthful vigor and the weight of kingship.
Archbishop Dunstan
primary
An elderly man of slight but sturdy build, with a deeply lined face that speaks of years of wisdom and austerity. His piercing blue eyes are framed by bushy white eyebrows, and his long white beard is neatly trimmed. His hands, though aged, are steady and expressive, often used in grand gestures during religious rites.
Queen Ælfthryth
secondary
A striking woman in her early 30s with a regal bearing, pale complexion, and piercing blue eyes that command attention. Her auburn hair is intricately braided beneath her veil, and her posture exudes quiet authority. She has high cheekbones and a composed demeanor that masks her calculating nature.
Bishop Oswald
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a gaunt face framed by thinning grey hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His deep-set eyes convey both wisdom and humility, and his hands are delicate, accustomed to holding sacred texts rather than weapons.
Saxon Thegn
background
A noble warrior in his late 30s, with a strong, muscular build from years of battle training. His face is weathered but noble, with a thick beard and piercing blue eyes that reflect his Saxon heritage. His hair is shoulder-length, slightly unkempt but clean, tied back with a simple leather cord.

I receive this sacramentum with humble heart, pledging before God and this assembly to keep and defend this kingdom and its folk.

The oil of gladness flows upon his head, as the psalmist foretold. May his reign be blessed with wisdom and peace.
Archbishop Dunstan
Receive this scepter, symbol of righteous rule, that you may govern with justice tempered by mercy, as Solomon did of old.
King Edgar the Peaceful
As the Lord has united these lands under one crown, so shall I strive to unite all hearts in service to His holy church.

Let all present bear witness this day - Edgar, by God's grace and the people's voice, is crowned king of all England.

May the angels record this blessed hour when church and crown are joined in sacred bond.
