    I'll help you out, Piglet and you can put down 1170 as the year Thomas Becket was murdered in the Cathedral.

    1171--Henry II finally figures out that Becket's dead (really--the murder was at the end of December and he was told New Year's day).

    1181....Just got your message Robin about making history up...so far, it only seems like you are the obvious one making it up

    1183--Richard I's older brother, Henry dies, leaving Richard first in line for the throne. Given what's been revealed about him on this thread, we must wonder how accidental it was!

    Oops. Robin was too fast for me.

    1184--Cecily the lady in waiting appears to be with child. Richard worries that she may have been "the one" at last year's Christmas party, but he still isn't sure.

    1185 -- Fortunately for Richard I's reputation, Cecily (the lady-in-waiting) is a little too...friendly...for anyone to pin her pregnancy on him.
