King Charles III

King Charles III, sometimes referred to by his constituency as 'Lord of Toothless Ones' or 'Paul', was the King and absolute monarch of the small island nation of Britain from 2 AB until his death in 17 AB. 
=== Early Life ===
King Charles III was raised in the royal palace of the Grand British Empire, where he toiled and dwelled doing not much of anything besides being rude to his servants. He continued on in this manner of general unproductivity and amassing wealth until he was 73 years old, when his mother passed away and he ascended to the throne. 
=== Coronation Incident ===
At King Charles' Coronation, a large bumblebee flew into his mouth, stinging his tongue and ruining his speech. As a consequence of this action, King Charles premeditated a coup and declared martial law over Britain, dissolving the British Parliament. He instated himself as the Great King and, as his first royal decree, demanded every bumblebee on the island be shot and killed with muskets. This proved a difficult task, as bumblebees were usually a fair bit smaller than the ammunition used in the antiquated firearms. Nonetheless, by 5 AB, the bees of the British Isles were no more.
=== Economic Collapse ===
What followed was described by Waifurian economists as the 'bumblebee effect'. The economy of Britain, which relied heavily on exports of pretty flowers and dry pastries, was severely impacted when the bees were killed and pollination ceased. This brought Britain into what would become known as the "Third British Dark Age" (the first being the Boob Tonic Plague and the second being the Great META War). During this period, the country was ravaged by famine, while King Charles, the absolute Monarch, ruled over his feudal constituents with an iron fist. 
=== The Great Reversion ===
The conditions in Britain eventually reverted to those of the 1700s BB, in which the country was engulfed by the Boob Tonic Plague. Lords and ladies with money to spare bought up huge parcels of land, and the common folk, with no place to turn, ended up becoming modern-day serfs. 
=== Combine-19 Virus ===
The Combine-19 Virus also began ravaging Britain during this time, much to the dismay of King George. He designated it as a domestic terrorist threat and called on the International Council for Human Rights to assist him in vaccinating the serfs and squalorous peasants of his ruined nation. Thanks to bold and decisive decision making by another absolute ruler (albeit, one severely more brainrotten), vaccines were distributed successfully to all remaining British citizens (approximately 3 million). 
=== Gifts of Onmoh Sab ===
The God of Plentiful Harvest, Michael Jackson's successor, Onmoh Sab, saw the pitiful state of Britain and vowed to do something about it. He compelled the flora and fauna of the isles to immediately grow to tremendous sizes. The watermelon orchards, for example, began yielding watermelons that were roughly the size of a small taxi. 
This was pivotal in this dark era, and the British Isles began rising out of their depression. Peasants constructed their own wooden shacks, developed horse-drawn carriages, and began developing archaic technologies. Thank you King Charles!
