King Arthur Killed in Coup

London- Arthur, King of the Britons was killed on Thursday following a military coup to overthrow the British head of State.

Arthur returned to the public eye last October when he returned from the dead, to help Britain in its greatest hour of need, in the wake of several drug scandals featuring famous Britons. Shortly after his return, Arthur’s popularity began to quickly decline. First he removed the popular Queen Elizabeth II from power and took her place on the throne. This was followed by a replacement of all modern arms possessed by British military personnel around the world with weaponry that would have been commonplace in post-Roman Britain. Following nearly 7 months, where Arthur put ridiculous policies into place, British military implemented a coup to remove the monarch from power.

In retrospect, some believe that the return of “Arthur” may have been nothing more than an elaborate, yet deadly hoax. “Now that I think about it,” said a Beefeater who spoke on the grounds of anonymity, “the Ravens didn‘t even leave the Tower of London.” This of course being a reference to the famous superstition, that Arthur’s return would cause the Tower’s famous birds to leave.

A state funeral will be held in the late monarch's honor next week.

My Dearest Rayment,
The battle of Agincourt occured on October 25th, 1415 and is most notable for the inclusion--and supremacy--of the English longbow in medieval warfare tactics. Avoid this information at your own risk, for, as the adage goes: "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it." Happy Henry V Appreciation Day.

Signed,
Mark H. K. Pharris
