KnoWoPerWriMo 2009

Before starting entries for my KnoWoPerWriMo project for this fall I wanted to give just a bit of background on the events.

Those of you who read Luke's journal last year will know that he is a professional soldier, a gentleman of a company of horse, in the service of Queen Elizabeth's army in France and the Netherlands. He also is a part time intelligencer for Sir Francis Walsingham so there may be letters off and on reporting in on current events.

You can find a fairly detailed persona history at these LiveJournal entires:

For this installment of Luke's life we find ourselves with the English army in the Netherlands in 1586. Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester is in command (for good and bad) and his army has just taken the town of Duisburg by assault. As a gentleman volunteer, Luke has a fair bit of freedom to do what he pleases. He is in Captain Roger William's company and acts as an adjutant for him. He also was in Sir John Norris' service for many years and while he no longer is his man, he attends upon him as well. His distant cousin Sir John Russell is with the army as well and he has his confidence.

As always, I welcome questions and comments. I have made these entries f-locked to preserve my rights of first publication, however I welcome new readers. Simply post a comment and I will add new readers.
