The Old World without

Whenever a King

Within & abroad

With the loss of such
A powerful King as he
The day was known as

Tendencies with his

Flamboyant nature
Of frivilous dispersal
& disposition
VII:10
Being more inclined
To appriecate Music
& The Arts then the
VII:11
Affairs & business
Policies of a strong King
This new young Longskanks

To silence his
Critics proving himself as
King to the doubters.

Immediately
To England in condolence
As to inquire

An audience with the
New young Longshanks King Edward
Seeking his response

Other forces were
Reacting in resistance
Against the new King

From within the Court

The Appointments of

The younger Longshanks
King Edward II
With self-made Nobles

Having overlooked
His late King father’s choices
From the Old Order
VIII:11
Sir Piers Gaveston
Being the King’s favorite was
Made Earl of Cornwall
VIII:12
As his chief-advisor
A Gacson bred Of low-birth
