...since I hung with the men

where I died? no one knows... in the blue...

But first, we solve #126 - here it is one last time:

not quite best of the best

by which, later, distressed

once good, and then bad... then: collapse

For my people and king, have ambition

I'm a heretic martyr

I'm a saint with a garter

I'm not needed, once completed, my mission...
