Aye tis quite possible, however if my memory shouldst deign to serveth me correctly, (this is the eleventh century), the population of mine faire realm of Albion/Elde England was composed of around 1,500,000 people. Excluding the minors (granted they didn't back then and one was considered an adult by the age of fourteen...::)), the olde, the sickly, and some Grand Dukes and their serfs who neither support my cause nor wish to fight for some inane reason (I refuse to order them to do so for fear they shouldst jeopardize my vital battle plans ::)) we're left with several hundred thousand. :)

Nay, only knights in the barracks must, the others must attempteth to keep their land and subjects, whether thou art one or nay is entirely thy decision. :P

QuoteI meant, I am truly overwhelmed with the honor you have bestowed upon me, especially insomuch as I am new to the realm and stranger here. :)

But as thou hath humored me in other threads and PMs, there was no reason for which not to. :)

Copycat, as thou wisheth to help, couldst thou be my battle strategist or even Spymaster? For both of those shouldst aide us greatly. :)

Pacman, I'm afraid I could only knight you now if you swore fealty to me. :-\

Quotewe're left with several hundred thousand.

  Err, well yes milady, but it is needful for men to till the fields, work the shops and attend to other mundane matters.  Were all able bodied   men to vacate your estates it wouldst utterly ruin them. Also the wains needed to carry provender for such a force wouldst be so prodigious as it were not possible that it should be accomplished. Aye, and such a host would verily drink rivers dry and consume so many provisions that not even the richest district could sustain them, but they must be spread out over many counties.  :)

  Also, if  indeed this doth be the eleventh century after the passing of our Lord, then the Duchy of Aquitaine is the title of the Counts of Poitou, and neither it nor Calais fallen under the protection of your most gracious majesty, but that your heart may be gladdened you mayest be aware that the title of the Duchy of Normandy does fall to you however (if it is post-1066 11thc anyway  :o). 

OOP
And I should also note that note of the weapons I presented are 11thc, all such heavy polearms are more 14thc-16thc weapons. Though I could find pictures of old spears if anyone wants.  ;D   

End OOP

Actually, they're made of solid Lightanium. Won't be invented for a few hundred years after the Flying Car. :P

Indeed, forgive me. :-\ Aquitaine hath not been deigned to pass under Our rule until the twelfth century.

If thou were to swear fealty to me now, thou wouldst be on mine. Naturally, I cannot knight you until you do so (forsooth, as my coronation never took place, thou hadst no opprotunity to do so and it must, therefore, be informally sworn).

Thou knave! Thou wouldst attempte robbery of such low nature?!
Furthermore, how can thou possibly consider primitive cannons and various bows that shall also be used "silly"? :P

Quoteprimitive cannons

The gift of foresight is a powerful thing, yet I think milady runith ahead of her time again.

Guns in 1066-1100 England?  I think not.  :P

End OOP 


*Gives up after a half-hour of fiddling*

  Milady I do fear that Imageshack and the Regia site art in a passing unhelpful mood today. :-\  So if you want said images, it would be most profitable to search the Regia Anglorum site.

  And howsoever your majesty knights pacman, it is my humble council you refrain from use of the lightsaber at the dubbing.  :P

Hardly foresight if Asia hath them already. :P I am merely well informed. ::) (However, a bamboo stick filled with gunpowder would most likely not do much harm, ergo my word primitive and the fact that I'm unlikely to use them, even if they were replaced by iron only a short time later. :-\)

*A trumpet sounds*

I hath arrived with my 4,000 archers and 500 knights to defend thee, my queene. Also, I have summoned 16,300 pikemen and peasants.

Pikemen! Form ranks in th' front to hinder th' vile machines!

Knights! Advance from th' side once the battle ensues!

Archers! Shoot ahead of th' knights and cast th' monsters into confusion!

*Th' men doth ready themselves for th' onslot*

We wait for thy word, my queene.
All that is gold does not glitter
Not all who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king
