King Nicholas And The Copeman Empire Summary

King Nicholas And The Copeman Empire by Nick Copeman

What would you do if you were twenty-five, unemployed, still living with your parents and had absolutely nothing to move on to in life? Nick Copeman's answer was to change his name by deed poll to His Majesty King Nicholas I and found an empire from his royal seat - a caravan just outside Sheringham, Norfolk. Originally done as a bet - part of which was to arrive to sign on at Cromer Job Centre on a horse and wearing a crown - the scam soon escalated and took on a life of its own. He sells peerages over the internet, receives corporate sponsorship, becomes a local celebrity and dreams of a date with Zara Phillips. But as His Majesty starts to believe his own hype, his ever more outlandish claims start catching up with him and not all the locals are happy. How long can the high-life - a fridge full of Taste the Difference ready meals - last? Will it be a case of 'long live the King'? Or will the charvers who hang around the local Costcutter make sure it's 'off with his head'?

About Nick Copeman

HM King Nicholas was born Nick Copeman - a commoner - on 6th January 1979. At twenty-four, after being unemployed for several months and failing to follow in his father's footsteps into the wheat-based snack industry, he changed his name by deed poll to HM King Nicholas and founded a new empire from his royal seat - a caravan just outside Sheringham, Norfolk. The King's current projects include the development of a range of sweet potato crisps and putting his near-C grade in GCSE English to good use, with a memoir of his experiences as 'England's other monarch'. He is also in negotiation with Jonathan Wilkes to take the lead role in an adaptation of the King Nicholas story, to be staged in association with the West Runton Amateur Dramatics Society, at the Pavilion Theatre on Cromer Pier in Summer 2005.
