Doomsday Redux

Having resolved his claim to the pre-1066 Harpole Hoard (Doomsday Revenge), the American makes demand on the British Crown for compensation for William the Conqueror's confiscation of his Saxon ancestor's six villages in southern Northamptonshire. The demand is for the present proportionate value of the properties - worth over 400 million pounds sterling. The Crown rebuts that the fair market value in 1086, as stated in the Great Domesday Book, would be 14 million pounds today, but in any event William's right of conquest eliminated the claim. Furthermore, the Crown perceives this demand as a financial threat to the country in leaving the European Union. The Crown dispatches MI6 (Secret Intelligence Service) with instructions to thwart the litigation. The American's demand denied and person imperiled, he nevertheless files suit in the High Court of Justice. Numerous claimants seek intervention. Throughout this process and its strains on their relationship the American and the female Shell Oil lawyer draw ever closer.
