In [[March]] [[1215]], [[King John]] of [[England]] is at the castle of Sir [[Ranulf Fitzwilliam]] to extort more taxes. When the lord refuses to pay, the King insults him. To defend his honour, his son [[Hugh Fitzwilliam|Hugh]] takes on the King’s champion, Sir Gilles Estram, in a joust. The latter wins easily, though the joust is disturbed by the arrival of the TARDIS. The Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough are greeted as demons and welcomed by the King. | In [[March]] [[1215]], [[King John]] of [[England]] is at the castle of Sir [[Ranulf Fitzwilliam]] to extort more taxes.

Having established the date, the Doctor concludes the King is not himself - in fact, he is not the King at all. History records that John is actually in [[London]], taking the Crusader’s Oath. Sir [[Geoffrey de Lacy]], the cousin of Sir Ranulf, arrives at the castle and confirms the Doctor's belief. Sir Gilles is about to torture him as a liar during a royal banquet when the Doctor intervenes. It seems the King's champion is not who he claims to be, either: Sir Gilles sheds his disguise and reveals himself to be the Doctor’s arch-nemesis, the Master, who aims his tissue compression eliminator at the Doctor... | Having established the date, the Doctor concludes the King is not himself - in fact, he is not the King at all.
