|
What family do you have with you on Progress?
|
|
|
None, my wife and children are at home at Standon House preparing for a summer progress that Her Majesty has promised to include my home on her way North.
|
|
Who is your chief ally on this Progress?
|
|
I have many allies from my service to Henry, Edward and Her Majesty, although my current position as chancellor of Lanacshire requires close liason with Lord Derby.
|
|
Who is your enemy on this Progress?
|
|
None specifically, but there are those that objected to my part in putting down the 'Northern rebellion' (and lived to tell the tale!)
|
|
Why are you on Progress?
|
|
I have spent my life devoted to Her Majesty and her family. I am here to serve as a liason with enemies and suitors alike, and be ready, at a moments notice, for my next ambassadorial duty.
|
|
Why are you at Court?
|
|
I may not be of noble blood, but I am reputed to be fairly well off, (actually bloody rich), and enjoy the company of those who live in similar circumstances. Also I consider it in everyones interest that I am close to Her Majesty.

|
|
What ONE thing can YOU (the actor) tell us/show us about your character that you want us to 'see' when we play off of you?:
|
|
While being extremely wealthy, Sir Rafe does not act as we sometimes call 'the nuveau riche', but comports himself in a manner acceptable to his noble colleagues.
