Plotting a Story

Exposition Who? Wants What? A Germanic peasant named Wilbur Helmüt wants to be rich. Wilbur sells fake Coats of Arms to other peasants in the surrounding manors.

Conflict / Problem But? Wilbur is caught by the local knight, Grey Badman.

Rising Action So? Wilbur faces trial in the Court of Lords.

Climax So? As Wilbur stands trial, he invokes the Magna Carta, #39. Wilbur says, “You are not my peers and equal to only half the men they are!”

Falling Action Then? The trial continues anyway. The Lords refuse to grant a simple peasant a trial by his peers.

Resolution / Ending The Judge of the Lords believes that the other Lords were merely offended by the fake Coats of Arms. The Judge rules that the money from previous sales are to be repaid. Wilbur may continue to make original Coats, however. Wilbur then becomes the most desired Coat maker in the land because his trial made him famous.
