This is where we can share tales of what we were doing during the Glorious Revolution that brought down the old aristocracy. Use whatever format you want - story, essay, outline or summary, epic poem - whatever you like.
Let's not worry about contradicting each other, either. If anyone wants to collaborate and iron out details, that's fine. But you don't have to. This is history. History is a godawful mess most of the time, written by people with varying agendas and philosophies about people who were either very good at not leaving paper trails or were even better at painting themselves in glowing colors. If muddled and contradictory tales are told here, then so much the better! It makes it resemble real history even more!
Feel free to start any time. I'm still trying to work out which flavor of con a certain royal bodyguard/secretary managed to use on the Duke of Pennyfarthing, and whether His Grace was the only mark or one of several.
