The senior English nobleman with any sort of royal connection who is
fighting with the two English regiments fighting in the Low Countries will
return home at the head of his troops (plus any others who fancy getting
very rich very quickly), declare himself king and blow the Romans away.
A couple of thousand 'pike and shot' veterans, even badly led, are a
match
for a Roman army.
Especially if they've got a couple of batteries of cannon...
I think there's at least one Scottish gun company there...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
