Sir
Roger Thornhurst
This good
knight served King Henry the VII for many years and then was an advisor for his
sons. When Sir Roger decided to retire to the country King Henry the VIII
presented him with the land on which the Village of Pleasance now sits.
The King requested that Sir Roger build a village that he might visit during his
annual Royal Progress through England. The Village of Pleasance now exists
for the King's pleasure. Sir
Roger found many challenges in Pleasance. Being near the Scottish border
meant that his villagers would have various allegiances which he must
continuously balance. But probably the most taxing challenge in Pleasance
was the Gypsies. After
many years at sword, Sir Roger felt that there must be a peaceful resolution.
His many wives had each given Sir Roger daughters who took to the Gypsy
lifestyle and proceeded to be an even greater challenge for Sir Roger. He
is currently looking for a good woman to bare him sons. (photo by Nikki

Sir Lazloe
Baldric, Earl of
Portsmouth At
home on the sea as well as on land, I am the unofficial scourge of the seaways,
performing King Henry's bidding under the flag of the Jolly Roger. Lazloe's
Creed... "Never ignore a call for help. Take only from those who are richer
than thyself. Do not play unless thou art willing to lose. Do not pilot a ship
under the influence. If you must fight, fight to the end. And always be prepared
for a quick escape!" Lazloe's

Sir Jon Marshal
From
Hell's heart, I stab at thee... We will dearly miss you this year as you
further your sword studies in Japan! *snicker* Yes, we shall miss you spitting
on the gypsies, kicking dirt in the peasants' hair when they bow to you and
using your squire (a mere child) to push off of when drawing your sword,
swearing by "Gods Wounds!" at Sir Mathias, and of course saying,
"Indeed" to everything His Majesty has to say *snicker*
Ohhhhh Fernandoooooo...Doesn't
he have the BEST Fashion sense?

Morticia Graves, Gravedigger SWF
gravedigger looking for strong stomached man to help out in the graveyard. Must
like candlelight dinners in the moonlight under the moseleums, long walks at
midnight, headstone rubbings, and a fear of the sun. Prefer tall, pale, looks
not important. Other hobbies would include selling of used goods, coffin
building, headstone carving and the ability to explain compliments. Please leave
a note on the Scotsman's grave if you are interested, he will make sure I
recieve it. "One, Two, Morticia's coming for you..." (May she
rest in Peace)
Rochester Rhymes,
Poet Commandeered by the
Captain of the Guard and issued keen weapons to serve as a guard during the

fighter...but he may change his mind if he gets to keep the swell rapier.
