| Prince Ruprecht of the Elbe, Baron of Balcombe & Handcross |
This morning Prince Ruprecht of the Elbe marched his gallant Royalist Force of what local sympathisers estimated to be 9,000 men, into the Carfax in Oxford.
By way of introduction - Ruprecht is a Prince of a small German principality on eth River Elbe, his family fortunes are somewhat at a low ebb and he petitioned his distant cousin, King Charles, for a property in England. He was granted the Baronetcy of Balcombe & Handcross.
Ruprecht is thought by some to be a little vain, he prefers to think of himself as looking like some kind of rockstar or the 17th Century equivalent (Minstrelstar?)! Certainly the ladies of Oxford were seen to swoon as his marched his men into the Carfax.
