Archbishops. The senior members of
the Church in England. Control of an
Archbishop allows you to crown a Royal
Heir. There are two Archbishops. Can-
terbury is the most senior; York pro-
vides the Faction with extra Troops.
Armies. Two or more Nobles in the
same Faction can be combined together,
along with all their Assets, to form an
army, commanded by the more senior
of the Nobles. They are represented on
the map by the shield of the senior
Noble.
Bishops. Lesser Clerics of the Church
in England. There are four Bishops in
the game, and any Noble can control
any number of them. You need two
Bishops to stage a Coronation. Most
Bishops bring other Assets with them.
Cathedrals. Found in Towns and
Cities, Cathedrals are sites where
Coronations take place.
Cities. Larger versions of Towns, the
cities of London, York, Bristol and Nor-
wich have garrisons of 300 Troops.
Faction. One of between two and six
groups of Nobles, each group vying
against the others for the ultimate

color. The player’s Faction is always

Nobles. Nobles are the basic playing-
piece of the game composing your Fac-

Untitled. Each Noble is shown on the
map by his heraldic shield. They can be
combined together to form armies.
Offices. These provide additional
power. Each Titled Noble (or Untitled
Nobles granted a Title) can be given
one Office. They confer extra troop
strengths (sometimes tied to one part
of the country), Towns or Castles.
There are twelve Offices. A Titled
Noble with an Office is a potent combi-
