Plot summary
Plot — Nobody and Somebody
The British nobles are discontented at the way Archigallo, recently succeeded to the throne, has grown vicious and lascivious. This is demonstrated in the way he decides a series of disputes among his subjects. Morgan and Malgo both claim the ownership of an island; Archigallo takes it for himself and appoints Lord Sycophant as its governor. The clown has stolen and married Rafe’s fiancée; Archigallo adjudicates in the clown’s favour, but then promises the woman advancement if she will stay at court. ===== PAGE 191 ===== 1605 Finally, a petition is presented against Nobody for his excessive charity; at Sycophant’s suggestion, Somebody is appointed to bankrupt Nobody. The nobles plot rebellion, but are overheard by the unworthy princes Vigenius and Peridure. Realizing they have been caught, the nobles continue the conversation by suggesting that the princes will become joint rulers after Archigallo is deposed. The princes decide not to expose the treachery after all, but as they discuss how they will divide the kingdom, they are themselves overheard by Archigallo and sent to prison. The Council deposes Archigallo. Elidure is reluctant to take the crown, but his wife, eager to lord it over the Queen, forces him to do so. He releases Vigenius and Peridure.

First they disagree which of them should rule, and settle on joint sovereignty. Next they cannot settle the fate of Lady Elidure: Peridure wants her imprisoned in the dowager Queen’s charge, but Vigenius sees no danger in her and wants her released. They go to war over the issue, and kill one another in battle. Elidure is restored to the throne and crowned King a third time. Lord Sycophant is engaged by both Lady Elidure and the dowager Queen to murder the other, but contrives to reconcile them. In the sub-plot, Somebody sends a servant to oppress the poor and claim it is being done by Nobody. The slander campaign is successful, and Nobody gets the blame for…
