The man who never lied
Bring me the man that
doesn’t lie
Yes your lordship
The king sends a nobleman out to fetch the man who never lies, who is named Mamad. Mamad promises he has never lied and won’t lie in the future. The king sees the man as
a key asset.
Is it true you never lie? And you won’t in
the future?
That is true my king
You will be a key asset to the
monarchy
James suggests that the king should go hunting
Great idea James
My king, shall we go hunting
today?
James tells the King that it might not be the best day to go hunting. The king forgets he has sent Mamad to the summer palace, James’s
plan is working
Maybe it’s not the best day for
hunting
Maybe you’re right
James
One of the kings noblemen, James was becoming tired of been out of the limelight. He decided to plot how to get rid of Mamad
Murder?Beat him?We need to get
rid of him
Too messy, we won’t harm him…. for now

The king sends Mamad to the summer palace to tell the Queen to prepare a feast, since he was joining her for lunch.
Mamad, go tell the Queen to
prepare a feast Yes your majesty
The Queen is waiting at the summer palace

Mamad tells the Queen to prepare a feast for the King, the Queen says she’ll prepare one.
Your lady, the King is coming
for lunchOk, I shall

Mamad returns and expects praise, instead he gets accused of lying
I’m back
James, who has spent the last few years tainting the kings mind, tells the King to punish Mamad.

The king orders Mamad’s execution, the man who now feels two feet tall

The crowd shout for Mamad to be burnt. The man who never lies gets burnt at the stake.

king act
The King’s funeral is the following day. Everyone in Winchester is sad, except James, who is using it as an opportunity to show off his
new title.
weep
James hatches a plan to kill the king with his rogue gang of ‘noblemen’
How do I get rid of the king?
Beat Him?
Murder?
You might be right this time
The Nobleman James offers the King some wine, but has poisoned the beverage. The king accept and drinks the wine, he starts to feel
ill.
Would you like some wine my
king?
Yes please James
The king is on his death bed and expresses his desire for James to be the king and rule Winchester.
James…I…want…you…to…be…king My sweet
king, please
don’t die…
Slowly
James officially takes up the King position and tells everyone to bow down to him and brands them ‘peasants’.
I AM KING JAMES, BOW TO ME PEASANTS!!
King James uses his power for bad and demanded taxes out the poor of Winchester.
Taxes Taxes Taxes
The resistance confront James to get him to back down without a fight. James, who’s currently power crazy, believes he can take on a whole army.
You have abused your power, stand down or be
captured
I’ll take you all on!!
Eventually people are tired of James’s behaviour so start an uprising against the Monarchy. Due to James only having a few noblemen and no army, it’ll be easy to overthrow him as king.
How do we overthrow the monarchy?
The army overthrow James and have an equal share in the Monarchy. James’s head is put on a spike and paraded through the streets of Winchester, cheers flood the streets of the City, as well as James’s blood.
The kingdom is ours
