Born to Be King
With the king away fighting in the Crusades, the arrival of Lord Dougal McAngus provides Edmund with an opportunity to seize power. But he really should have taken a closer look at those documents declaring brother Harry to be illegitimate...
The Archbishop
Edmund is less than pleased when he's appointed to the dangerous post of Archbishop of Canterbury, but there's no wriggling out of the job. Can he avoid the sort of grisly fate that has befallen three previous incumbents?
The Queen of Spain's Beard
The King wishes to form an alliance between England and Spain, and insists that Edmund marries the Infanta Maria Escalosa of Spain. Edmund is unimpressed by her lack of beauty.
Witchsmeller Pursuivant
The cruel witchsmeller pursuivant is sent to root out the source of an outbreak of witchcraft - and quickly lays the blame on Edmund, Lord Percy and Baldrick. If they can't prove their innocence, they'll be burned at the stake.
