The King of England (イングランド王) is one of the reigning kings during the Hundred Years' War. Known to be an incredibly charismatic and popular with the nobility, he prospered with military success during his early reign. He founded the Order of the Garter, the highest order chivalry which is still used in England today. Edward the Black Prince is his eldest son.
Role in Game
The King arrives by sea to oversee the course of the war after his son, Edward the Black Prince, secures the port of Saint-Vaast La Hogue. Shortly thereafter, the King decrees Chevauchée, issuing orders to his forces to raid the French country side in an attempt to provoke the King of France into battle.
Bladestorm: Nightmare
During the events of Bladestorm: Nightmare, the King of England forms a truce with the King of France to rid the land of monsters. However, it is revealed to be a ruse concocted by an evil Joan of Arc who brainwashes the kings into putting a bounty on the player's forces. A real alliance between the two armies is established once Joan's curse on them is lifted.
Though both sides put aside their differences to destroy the monster army, conflict arises once more when the two kings wish to use the Gladius Dux for their own ends. The King of England launches a search party to obtain the sword before the French do, but neither army is able to find it.
