Across the Seasons
How this character reads at season scale
Historical king of England and leader of the Crusader army, with authoritative command over knights (including Ian Chesterton). His strategic vision (e.g., diplomatic marriages) and temperamental leadership contrast with Ian’s pragmatic adaptability. Never conflated with companions; interacts with them as a distinct historical figure.
