The King! The King is dead!

July 5, 2013: 

Today marks the tragic death of our beloved king, King Hamlet. King Hamlet has died of natural causes. I speak for the people of Denmark when I say that we are all affected by his sudden exit from the world. King Hamlet was a great king. King Hamlet was a warrior, as he led Denmark's forces to victory against Norway, and personally defeated its King Fortinbras in hand-to-hand combat. Hamlet respects his father, saying Claudius pales in comparison to him, and frequently reflects on him in an endearing manner.
