History
Renaissance
In 1503, Ezio Auditore, the Mentor of the Italian Assassins, sent a group of his Assassins to London to aid King Henry. They killed Simnel and Warbeck's co-conspirator Margaret of York in November 1503. After her death, they killed several Templars instigating riots over Margaret's death. One of these Templars revealed that they had infiltrated Henry's Star Chamber, and the apprentices quickly looked for the infiltrators. They found a group of Englishmen signing Borgia documents and eliminated them. As a reward, King Henry offered the Assassins a seat in the Star Chamber.[1][2]
During the time of the mid-Renaissance, London was ruled by King Henry VII of England. During the early 16th century, the Templars made attempts to obtain the English throne. However, their plans were thwarted by Henry VII, as he imprisoned Lambert Simnel and had Perkin Warbeck hanged.[1][2]
Restoration era
In 1660, Charles Stuart was invited to London to be crowned King after having been exiled by Oliver Cromwell for several years. At his crowning, Stuart noticed a man holding a sphere wrapped in a thick piece of cloth talking with his General George Monck.[3]
