Behold my lord Ulrich

The Rock..

the Hard Place...

Like the Wind from Gelderland he sweeps by...

blown far from his homeland is search of glory...

and honor.

We walk in the garden of his turbulence!!

"Awkward Silence"

YEAH!!!! (Crowd: YEAH!!!!!)

My Lords.

My Ladies.

And everybody else here not sitting on a cushion...

"Cheering"

Today..Today

You find yourselves equals...

"Crowd is cheering."

"Lords are cursing."

For you are all equally blessed...

For I have the pride...

The privilege nay the pleasure...

Of introducing to you a knight..

Sired by knights...

A Knight who could trace his lineage back ...

Beyond Charlemagne.

I first met him...

Atop a mountain near Jerusalem...

Praying to GOD...

Asking his forgiveness for the Saracen blood spilt by his sword.

Next he amazed me still further...

In Italy...

When he saved...

A fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishings of her dreadful Turkish uncle.

"Crowd boos" Chaucer: :-/

In Greece...

He spent a year...

in silence

Just to better understand the sound...

of a whisper.

And so without further gilding the Lily and with no more ado...

I give to you...

the seeker of Serenity...

The Protector...

of Italian Virginity.

The enforcer of our Lord GOD...

The One...

The only...

Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein

"Crowd Cheers"

"Trumpets Sound"

My Lord Count Adamar...

Son of Phillip Devitri...

son of Gylse(?).

Master of the Free Companies...

Defender of his...

enormous manhood...

A shiny example of chivalry...

and champagne.

"Crowd applauses"

Watt: "Nice work!"

Chaucer: "Bravo!"

Good People...

I Missed my introduction!!

"Crowd Cheering"

But please..

Please I pray you...

Hear it now..

For I would lay rest...

the grace...

in my tongue...

to speak plain.

Days like these...

are far to rare to cheapen with heavy handed words.

And so...

I'm afraid without any ado whatsoever...

Excuse me my Lord...

Here he is.

One of your own..

Born a stone's throw from this very stadium..

...and here before you now

The son of John Thatcher...

Sir William Thatcher!!!!!

"Crowd Cheers"
