The last 8 royal saints

The results of the final rounds of the World Cup of Royal Saints will be posted here as we have them.


Quarter-finals, starting on July 11th.

Elizabeth of Hungary 61.1 v Charlemagne 38.9

A surprisingly easy win for the Hungarian nurse, putting to flight the mighty emperor.

St Margaret of Scotland 48.3 v Stephen I of Hungary 51.7

Well, the Hungarians are walking away with this, but at least this one was very close.

Jadwiga of Poland 64.5 v Charles (Karl) I of Austria 35.5

The Poles managed to drum up a massive support for the lesser-known Jadwiga. Will she go all the way?

Louis IX of France 52.3 v Edward the Confessor 47.7

Another close round, and the plucky English boy goes out.


Semi-finals, starting on July 19th.

Elizabeth of Hungary 51.7 v Louis IX of France 48.3

By a very narrow margin the Hungarian girl casts down French hopes of a victory for "les bleus".

Stephen I of Hungary 35.6 v Jadwiga of Poland 64.4

The Poles continue to muster their army of supporters, and Stephen is swept away.


Third place playoff.

Louis IX of France 46.4 v Stephen I of Hungary 53.6

Big Steve takes the BRONZE.


FINAL

Elizabeth of Hungary 24.3 v Jadwiga of Poland 75.7

The Polish army sweeps the board. GOLD for Jad, and SILVER for Liz.

  1. Ye Eppistle of Cottrell

    I.1 For yea, it shall be proclaimed to the Yorkites
    2 Of whatsoever collour or gender they may be
    3 Thatte we are notte of the biggottes
    4 And even less so of the raycists
    5 Nor verily of the homophobes
    6 And notte of the misogynists eitherre.
    7 For lette it be proclaimed
    8 That where we see a committed,
    9 Stable, faithful relationship
    10 Between two people of the same sex,
    11 Or evenne forsoothe between three, or fourre, or many,
    12 Howsoever thatte these things may be condemned by Scripptures thatte I do notte like.

  2. 13 I now proclaimme to ye
    14 Thatte those people can be welcomed fully into the life of the Church,
    15 Notte accordingge to Christ's Commaundements
    16 Nor verily accordiungge to biggotted Bible verses
    17 Butte only on their terms and followwingge their personal preffererences,
    18 Andde indeede inclinaytions andde imagiunaytions,
    19 And whatte couldde possibly go wrongge ?
    20 For I know the wordde ‘father’ is problemmatique
    21 For those whoose exxperiensce of earthly fathers
    22 Has been destructtive and abyewsive
    23 And for all of us who have laboured rather too much
    24 From an oppressively patriarchal grip on life.
    25 Down the Patriarrchy !!
    26 Down the Father !!
    27 All blessède be The Holy LGBT !!
