Walking in woods and farmland near St Michaels the trees played out scenes of sovereignty and power fresh in my mind from reading Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, Shakespeare’s Macbeth and George R R Martin’s Game of Thrones.

 

Presence at court

 

Aspiring courtier

 

Privy council or three witches

 

The generals

 

The infantry

 

Our armour

 

The fallen

 

The throne
