The year is 1588 and Her Majesty's favorite Shire of Mount Hope is prepared for Her Grand Arrival. All is in readiness and the villagers are excited to welcome the Queen once again.

England itself is enjoying a period of peace and prosperity all due to Her Majesty. The country is experiencing a rebirth... a Renaissance of theater and music, of art and dance and all shall be on display at Mount Hope! But even as things at home are wondrous, England does have turmoil just outside its borders. In Ireland, England is struggling with insurrection and daily attacks on their ships and outposts. The proud and rebellious Irish people do not want to be ruled by England and are doing all they can to remind them of that fact. Led by Red Hugh O'Donnell, the rebels are constantly striking at the English forts and taking their supplies. In response, Her Majesty has sent the tough, uncompromising Sir Richard Bingham as Governor. It is his task to put an end to the rebellion and to quell the uprising... by any means at his disposal. He has swept through Ireland with an iron fist. And even though he has been somewhat successful, he has also emboldened the rebellion even more. As a surprise to Her Majesty, He has returned to England with a present for the Queen. He has managed to capture Red Hugh! Triumphantly, he presents the thorn that has been in the Queen's side. Her Majesty is shocked and surprised at this 'gift' and publicly announces that this will be the end of the issues that are in Ireland. But a greater force is on its way to Mount Hope; one that can change the courses of England and Ireland's history. For as strong as Red Hugh is, there is an even more powerful and legendary figure that has been fighting for Ireland's freedom. The Pirate Queen, Grace O'Malley is coming to state her case!

A day of great, but uniquely different cultures clash upon the Shire of Mount Hope. Ireland and England will meet head to head in what is sure to be an action-packed day! Pirates galore, English and Irish Lords and Ladies, villagers and craftsmen, all welcoming the Queen, will await the outcome of the day's festivities! God Save the Queen!  ;D ;D ;D
