Release 11  -  The Jacobeans, 1605 - 1615

​

The Conspirators
Four stop-at-nothing bravos – the armed and dangerous younger sons of recusant families dedicated to the old faith.  

The Loyal Dogs
A party of well-armed Government men and agents. Veterans of the wars in Ireland and the Low Countries often found gainful employment as officers, agents and guards in the private armies of leading English noblemen, enforcing the Crown’s writ.

The Killing Gentlemen (not pictured)
A quartet of shady customers of murderous intent. These were violent times in England. Espionage was rife, duels frequent and life cheap. Murders, assassinations and fatal brawls were far from uncommon. 

The Bluff Soldiers
The Crown’s only permanent forces consisted of bodyguard units, the Gentlemen Pensioners and the Yeomen of the Guard, responsible for the Monarch’s personal security, the protection of Royal residences and palaces, and guarding state assets such as the Crown Jewels and the Royal Mint in the Tower of London. 

The Bloody Hounds
A brace of lugubrious sleuthhounds and their hound masters. Famed for their preternatural abilities to track a scent and run down any enemy, these large hounds and their dogged handlers were both feared and admired. 
Titans of the Age
A quartet of famous (and infamous) Jacobean characters.
- King James I of England and VI of Scotland. That canny, fey, political survivor and inveterate dabbler in all things occult.
- Sir Robert Cecil: Secretary of State, Lord Treasurer, and England’s Spymaster-in-Chief. The ruthless magnate who controlled all affairs of the Kingdom under King James. 
- Francis Bacon, genius of the age. Philosopher, polymath, father of scientific experimentation and noted esotericist. Later, Lord Chancellor and Attorney-General of England.
- Henry Garnet, the much-hunted chief Jesuit in England. Favourite bogeyman of the Protestant establishment and purportedly the organising intelligence behind the Gunpowder Plot.

 

Available early September as individual 4-figure packs, or all together as a 24-figure collection, ‘Treason and Plot’.
