This is a story about King Cynewulf of Wessex.
He was a kingslaying, one eyed, one handed cannibal who lived to a ripe age of 73. He lived a tough life losing his first wife after a year to the flu and later getting cancer and losing an eye and then later catching the bubonic plague and losing his hand. These events altered King Cynewulf's mental state (or maybe it was his witch queen) leading to him to wish to weaken his granddaughters holdings. By first sneakily killing the Countess of Surrey and later straight out trying to imprison the Countess of Wiltshire. This didn't bode well for King Cynewulf with his granddaughter raising an army in rebellion which was swiftly crushed with some help from the Jews. Once his granddaughter was in his hands he quickly executed her and took her lands. During many times stranded in his keep due to various epidemics King Cynewulf became hungry which lead to him feeding on his courtiers, on multiple occasions which seemed to improve his sexdrive impregnating his wife even at the age of 73. Unawares to King Cynewulf these acts did not please his vassals or his son who ambushed him one day shooting an arrow through his shoulder and finishing him off with an arrow through his temple.
A wicked man may he will surely pay for his sins in the afterlife.
Great fun Paradox, keep it up.
