So, a few words before we begin:

---

--I'm going to set up a prompt/backstory/plot each round with lots of open-ended question and opportunities for your family to participate. It's up to you to weave yourself into the story and drive the plot, so it can become as twisty-turny as you guys like. Because of the nature of this congrats, make sure to read everyone else's posts so you don't miss anything important.

--This takes place in the early middle ages, ca. 1130, in a country based on England. The nobility hierarchy is as such, from highest to lowest: King, Duke, Earl, (Vis)count, Baron. Noble titles are hereditary, but only to the eldest son. However, noble titles can be given by the King to those he deems worthy.

---

--If you miss more than three rounds, I'm going to kill off your family in an interesting way. :-P

---

--Due to the time period, not all children will survive.

The prosperous island nation of Angleterra has just crowned a new king: King Henry I, eldest son of King Charles, has taken the throne. He throws a large coronation banquet and invites all of the landed nobility, as well as his loyal army. Among the eating and merriment, there are whispers--there is a plot to overthrow the young king. Who is at the forefront, and who is involved? Where do the nobles align themselves--with the young king or with the promises of power once he is deposed?

As the year goes on, the conspirators grow in number and in strength, and by the end of the year, a decisive plan of action is made. What does it entail, and how will it come to pass? How does the recent birth of an heir to the throne affect their plans?
