Tombstone with a sculptural portrait of Edward Woodstock.

Edward of Woodstock (1330 –1376), known to history as the Black Prince, was a one of the most successful English commanders during the Hundred Years' War, being regarded by his English contemporaries as a model of chivalry and one of the greatest knights of his age.Edward was buried with great state in Canterbury Cathedral.His epitaph inscribed around his effigy reads:

Such as thou art, sometime was I.

Such as I am, such shalt thou be.

I thought little on th'our of Death

So long as I enjoyed breath.

On earth I had great riches

Land, houses, great treasure, horses, money and gold.

But now a wretched captive am I,

Deep in the ground, lo here I lie.

My beauty great, is all quite gone,

My flesh is wasted to the bone

Only thing missing from the picture is the mask overlay.

"on the one hand," i tell the late medieval monk i hang out with sometimes, "each age reconfigures the great events of history in the way that makes them most meaningful for their own time. like how you keep drawing alexander in full plate."

"he's a knight, what else would he wear"

"on the other," i continue, ignoring him, "it does make me feel like i've gone a little bit crazy when people applaud caesar's assassins as restoring power to the people. at best they wanted a different dictator for life."

"was your 1st century ad stoic friend busy or something"

"yes. anyway the point is applauding action taken for action's sake without looking at the consequences is silly. it's not like killing caesar restored the Res Publica anyway -"

"because all Caesar did was knock over its rotted corpse," he says along with me. "can i play Dark Souls in peace now?"
