03/10/1470 Beginings of a new Monarch's Reign: Andreas Sharpe




Kingdoms Associated Press - London, England


Once again, another reign ends and a new one starts. We should be used to this phenomenon as it happens every six to eight months. All that said, let us take a look at the newest monarch, HRH Andreas Sharpe. His campaign promises were:


  • House of Lords - to renew or replace the charter there. Once a new Charter is in place, then work can begin on bringing a new purpose to the House, along with making it more attractive to peers to become involved in matters and debates.

  • Order of the Garter - will be used as Royal representatives to be assigned to any area that has been petitioned for assessment.

  • Trade and Economy - establish regular trad and routes between counties/councils

  • Military and Defence - consideration to budget for national military and development of armed trader escorts.

  • Prestige - review the system in place already and make changes if needed

  • Social and Culture - numerous plans to revive culture, art and entertainment

  • National Dispatch - Relaunch an existing newspaper which is Crown-sponsored but Independent newspaper for reporting on the Kingdom at every level from Towns upwards with a publishing target of at least one general issue per month, plus specials covering significant events, etc.




  • Further on we see that his privy is unconventional compared to past monarchs. There is no attorney general in his list of officers. This lack of having an attorney general goes against a decree which has not been revoked by any monarch since 1466. This also means we have no one paying attention to our law library causing it to fall behind further in updates. Now as always, all security-related issues will be contained in the private rooms of privy chambers which should contain people whom it involves but we see again where several officers are not involved and one officer a Chamberlain who organizes royal events is in the private privy. And last but not least he states that he hopes he can ring in a new era for England with grace and happiness.


    Now here is where things become a bit of a conundrum in England.


    First, he claims his treasury was only £18,800. The past monarch had £27,711 left over from his reign. In his will, he states "By last will and testament we decree ten thousand pounds to be granted to the Counties of Westmorland, Sussex, Devon and Mercia from the Royal Treasury upon our passing. The remaining funds shall be at the disposal and discretion of the Regent. "


    The funds to the counties were transferred but the former regent, Zulita has yet to relinquish some funds left over stating "A lot of the funds have already been returned to the Crown and have been accounted for in the treasury." This is where an issue has already befallen this monarchy. We have not seen any accounting records of that being returned to the treasury.


    Those funds could be used for the defence of England and for the prestige program to keep the defence of England higher. The monarch has not questioned publically where the money is nor has he issued a public statement about the funds. We can read in the records the discussion on the money but not many answers in the public are given. So with the little amount of treasury he was given when elected, the prestige and defence of England may fall into a tremendous slump which we have not seen before. England can only hope things start to shape up better than the start!
