“Both King Ælle of Sussex and Aethelswith of Essex have offered generous terms for us if we send just fifteen knights to help them in their war. They both also offer a promise that they will protect us from the other Saxons if we do this. If we don’t, double tribute is required. AElle in particular has threatened us with pillaging if we don’t agree. I assume he is angry that we sent knights to his rival. | “Both King Ælle of Sussex and Aethelswith of Essex have offered generous terms for us if we send just fifteen knights to help them in their war.

Gossip by the fireplace
“Those fashions from Cornwall look better to me every time another castle surrenders to King Idres. They are coming! This year Dorsette, next year us. I wonder if this strange alliance will hold.”
“What’re you, the king’s marshal now? You sleeping with Prince Mark when he comes to know that?”
“My cousin knows a trader who goes to Suth Seaxe, and he says that they are all getting ready for another invasion. They put out a call for volunteers from overseas, and sent boxes of silver to hire Franks and Goths.”
“Your cousin says that every year. Oh, did he bring back one of those brooches?”
“No, but wait until you taste the chicken tonight! They found a farmer with french herbs hidden away! I’ve not tasted real chicken in weeks!”
