Gossip
“Who is that handsome young man who is at court so recently? Do you think it’s true he is the king’s bastard?”
“Well, if he is recognized then we can expect another dozen or so to show up!”
“You are terrible! Maybe he’s just another warrior come to save us from the Saxons.”
“Saxons? I’m watching out for the Irish! They are not worth trusting, sure as a horse has four legs!”
“Oh dear, what if both the Saxons and Irish attack? We’ll surely be doomed. I’m too young to die — or worse!”
News
Madoc: “Yes, I am the son of Prince Uther. I am to be knighted, so I can join my father in the battle against the Irish. Have you fought the Irish before?”
Ulfius: “Paschent has allied with the Irish King, Gillomanius. They have landed in Cambria, and are now raiding it. King Aesc of Kent is assembling a fleet, too. We don’t know what he is planning to do with it.”
Royal Conversation
Aurelius Ambrosius: “Our brother, Prince Uther, will lead an army to the west to combat the Irish invasion. His son, Madoc, a most worthy young man, shall be knighted by our own hand, so that he may join his father in reaping the glory from the battlefield. We shall stay behind with the other half of the army to keep an eye on those treacherous Saxons.”
