	Lancre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lancre is based mainly on the North of England (as in Lanc(ashi)re), but is reminiscent of many rural areas in Britain and elsewhere.
		Lancre is famous for witches, especially since the publication of The Joye of Snacks (an erotic cookbook) by "A Lancre Witch" (Nanny Ogg).
		Verence II has set up a Parliament, but most Lancrastians view this as a way of getting them to do his work for him and aren't having any of it.

	Verence II of Lancre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Verence II of Lancre is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
		Verence II is a very well-meaning king, who takes running a kingdom very seriously (he takes most things seriously, having learnt at a very early age that being a Fool was no laughing matter), but things seldom turn out the way he might want.
		Verence was voiced by Andrew Branch in the BBC Radio 4 adaption of Wyrd Sisters, and by Les Dennis in the Cosgrove Hall animation.

		King Verence I was indeed a ladies' man, but so was the Fool's official father, who achieved with kind words and a fetching manner what the King achieved by hammering on the door with his sword.
		They also recall that the man left town hurriedly shortly after the birth of Tomjon, and that the Queen was a rather lonely lady who may well have appreciated a little gentle attention on those long nights when her husband was exercising his droit de seigneur around the kingdom.
		Further evidence that the Fool (now ruling Lancre as Verence II) is the son of a commoner and had no genetic tradition of kingship in his bones may be gathered from the fact that he is hardworking, intelligent, conscientious, humble and kind.

		She tends to believe in crystals, folk wisdom and cycles of nature, and is, in short, something of a gentle parody of New Age types.
		This unusual name was the result of an effort to ensure the naming ceremony didn't suffer the same mistake that led to her being saddled with the name Magrat.
		She was born in Lancre, but went away to school, and returned while the Coven were touring the Disc.

		The kingdom of Lancre dozed in the heat, which shimmered on the forests and the fields.

		Verence II was the most amiable monarch in the history of Lancre.
		Besides, Verence would rather cut his own leg off than put a witch in prison, since it'd save trouble in the long run and probably be less painful.

		When Duke Felmet kills King Verence and names himself the new King of Lancre, Verence's ghost haunts the castle and his young son is smuggled out of the kingdom and taken to a coven of three witches for protection.
		Lancre castle overlooks the main town (imaginatively called Lancre Town) and occasionally bits and pieces fall into the gorge and the far off (vertically) Lancre River.
		When King Verence of Lancre is murdered by a usurping kinsman, the whole kingdom is dangerously unbalanced.

		She is technically a better doctor than the other two, since she actually believes in herbalism, whereas Granny tends to use whatever plant or bottle of coloured water comes to hand and headology (in this case the placebo effect).
		She is now Queen of Lancre, and has one daughter, Princess Esmerelda Margaret Note Spelling.
		Following Magrat's marriage to King Verence II, the role of maiden has been (reluctantly) taken up by Agnes Nitt, a sensible young woman who suffers from a self-induced multiple personality disorder.

		One key trait of Lancre witches - and what ever else she may be, Eska has always been a Lancre witch - is their bloody mindedness with regards to doing a job they said they'd do no matter how bad they turn out to be at it.
		Magrat Garlick married Verence II and became Queen of Lancre, but she was never a Witch.
		It's been in and out of her window ever since she used it to fly to Lancre, and it seems to now have taken up residence on an old skull she uses as a paperweight.

	Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett Detailed Book Review
		The previous king, Verence, has died under suspicious circumstances, and his cousin Duke Felmet and the mountainous and obnoxious duchess have taken the throne.
		Their plan, to reinstate the king's natural heir by moving the kingdom 15 years into the future so that the lad will be old enough, is an ambitious one, but it just might work....A wonderful parody of "Macbeth" with a fair amount of fairy story thrown in for good measure.
		When the King of Lancre dies and the throne goes to an inappropriate ruler, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat, three witches, fight back.
