English Kings named Charles and dying due to their own stubbornness - name a better duo.
Potions???
mine are too strong for you, traveler
roll 2d4+con
Someone fetch the local alchemist
Gfc that’s just asking to go out of this world with a bad case of doo-doo ass and mercury poisoning.
We’re in fucking 1320 motherfucker.
The King is ailing and needs herbs and potions to keep him alive. The taxes are going up and your children are being requisitioned by the Crown.
But also critical support to the king and the pepto bismol he thinks will help.
Dead in 6 months.
Vaccinated?
feudal holdover believes in potions, more at 11
Critical support to the King in his desire to off himself by refusing the finest medical treatment in the world.
Wow so Charles banknotes are gonna be a rarity in a few years.
Would his majesty be interested in the traditional royal treatment of being fed a solution of powdered lead and mercury (the royal metal!) by some kind of court appointed alchemist/astrologer?
Chemotherapy is fucking awful and I understand why someone might not want to do it, and these days there might be alternatives, specially if you have the resources of the British monarchy.
At any rate, I hope the cancer wins.
Norm MacDonald may be shitty but he did manage to be funny so to paraphrase 'really the best cancer can hope for is a draw ’

It means at his age the only thing cancer treatment can do is prolong your 5 year survival without regard to quality of life. Nothing he will do at this point will really prolong his life further than it has gone and taking chemo will undoubtedly ruin the last few years and chances are chemo doesn’t work and you die near-term anyway. Oncology has pitiful success rates.
I have family that got cancer around 75, had chemo and lived another 15 years, and that was treatment on the NHS, not the best care money can buy.
Absolutely an edge case and not typical of anyone’s experience. Several of my family members are dead after painful chemo in their 50s
It’s an outlier sure, but it’s not tremendously unlikely. 61% of men diagnosed with cancer at 75 survive at least 5 years.
I simply do not believe that first statistic that you googled from a Finnish study. 80 is over the median age of most people. Now if you are King Charles and you are probably going to die in 5 - 10 years anyway do you want to spend your last 5 years extremely sick getting poisoned by chemo or do you want to spend it doped up on drugs having everything you can possibly want while you get to be the king you waited for 75 years to be then meet the inevitable anyway?
80 is over the median age of most people
Sure, but if you make it to 75, you are considerably more likely to make it to 80 than the median person.
The median person also does not have parents that each made it to their late 90s, or access to the world’s best medicine.
And you really think someone who has the best medicine in the would choose to not treat because they are dumb dumbs or because they probably know its useless to treat? If I were him I wouldn’t take chemo either after watching what it did to my sister in her 50s.
idk, critical support to the king for slowly and painfully killing himself unnecessarily.
the person playing Crusader Kings on this family clearly decided it was time to get a younger king on the throne
He’s going to break out the leaches, isn’t he.
you do you king 🦀🦀🦀
isn’t he like 98 years old or some shit, like at some point I feel like you gotta do the math and figure out if fucking up all the cellular replication in your body and all the consequent fun side effects of that is worth getting rid of a cancer that might not even kill you for another 5+ years
anyway hope he does the chemo and dies anyway fuck im
75 so younger than both Biden and Trump.
christ alive everything is so bad lmao
Damn and Liz died at 96/ Phillip at 99, if he lives as long his parents (very doubtful) he’d be king til 2045-2050
hope it hurts.
