Medieval chronicle narrator: Luke

Medieval chronicle narrator, deep, stately, and austere

Prompt: A deep, solemn male voice for medieval chronicle and history. His grave baritone is stately and stern, at home with kings and plagues, immersive and austere. There's a the-wheel-of-fortune-turns gravity in his tone. The sound of a narrator who reads a chronicle as though he copied it himself by monastery candlelight.

Script: In that year, the chronicles tell us, the harvest failed, the rivers froze, and a great comet burned in the northern sky for forty nights. The common folk saw in it the wrath of God, the king saw an omen of his coming glory, both were wrong.
