call him spongebob do ya? looks more like a shitebob!

on the basis of including some reality a modular castle system I have been working on some ideas, these will be duly posted as soon as I get the pictures to my satisfaction. I think Lego should explore the rise of lollardy in the late 14th/ early 15th centuries, and have created some modules, which would easily integrate with a castle built on this principle. The first set protrays John Wycliffe, in his study, pondering the role of the church within the emerging nation state. A basic set would contain Wycliffe minifig, a few decorated tile manuscripts, a chair and desk, whilst a more complex set would include the Modular Study, for him to work in. The second set would protray Pope Gregory XI issuing his Bull condeming the 12 conclusions of the lollards this would be another simple, and cheap set, containg 3 or 4 minifigs -the pope and a few cardinals, and of course the decorated tile representing the Papal Bull The third set, with perhaps more interest for many of us, would protray the kings men burning a heritical lollard. I think 3 or 4 heavily armed foot soldiers, a commander, and of course our heritic chained atop a pile of brown plates, flames leaping up A add on to this set could include a skeleton, to represent Wycliffe's body, and would protray the disinterment of Wycliffe by the kings men, before his remains were burnt and duly distributed to the sea would be interested in any thoughts people may have on this, I will try to get my pictures up soon (i would admit my lego skill is more advanced than my photographic!) thank you
