Ye Olde Year in Review

www.yeoldetymenews.com

Dearest Subjects of the Crowne,

It hath been another long and arduous annum of plague and taxes, war and toil, subjugating peasants and other foul beasts of the Realm. But if thou art reading this, then thou hast survived to serve His Majesty for another year.

Herein be some of our top stories from the year, in no particular order, for thy perusing pleasure.

Side note: If thou art a truly loyal subject of The King, the best way to prove thy worth is to spread His Word far and wide. Tell thy fellow peasants about this newsletter and follow His Grace on the various societal mediums: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook. This esteemed compendium is written, edited, illustrated, Photoshopped, researched, etc. by a lone scribe whomst The King hath imprisoned against his will for the purpose (plus the occasional wondrous contributor). His Majesty hath promised that once Ye Olde Tyme News becomes the only source of information for all the Realm and hath crushed all competition underfoot, he will free said scribe from his captivity.

Help free this scribe.

But if thou art a petty louse who doth choose to sit in shadows and merely read The King’s stories in the comfort of thine own hovel, well, that’s fine, too. And His Majesty is very grateful for thy support.

Long live The King!
