2. Mamad promises he has never lied and won’t lie in the future. The king sees the man as a key
asset.
The king sends a nobleman out to fetch the man who never lies, who is named Mamad.
Bring me the
man that
doesn’t lie
That is true
my king
Is it true you
never lie? And
you won’t in
the future?
Yes your
lordship
You will be a
key asset to
the monarchy
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
Too messy, we won’t
harm him…. for now
Beat
him?
We need to
get rid of him
Murder?
Mamad this,
Mamad that
James suggests that the king should go hunting
My king, shall
we go hunting
today?
Great idea
James
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
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
3. 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 lunch
Mamad returns and expects praise, instead he gets accused of
lying
Ok, I shall
prepare now
I’m back
Summer
Palace
James, who has spent the last few years tainting the kings mind, tells the King to punish Mamad.
The man
who never
lies?!?
PRESSURE
Mamad!!
Think of
the food
he’s
wasting
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.
You are charged
under the lying to
the king act
James
for king
You are
sentenced to
DEATH!
BURN
HIM!!
4. James hatches a plan to kill the king with his rogue gang of ‘noblemen’
You might be
right this time
Murder?
Beat Him?
How do I get rid
of the king?
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.
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
My sweet
king,
please
don’t die…
James…I…want…you
…to…be…king
weep
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
new title.
5. 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.
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!!
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 street, as well as James’s
blood.
