General Summary

COUrt Court is held at Silchester. speCial gUests King Pellinore gOssip “Maybe war isn’t so bad if it’s over there, in oth- er peoples’ lands. Look at the gifts everyone got last Christmas time!”
“That is un-Christian, and shortsighted as well. Didn’t your own cousin lose a son in that war? And what of those widows over in the Franks’ lands now, crying all winter.” “We have spent our share of time shivering in the winter and crying over the dead. It’s time we got some back, that’s what I say.” news Ulfius: “King Claudas of the Franks won a great battle last year against the Alemanni, his greatest op- ponents. He promised his wife and his bishop that he would become Christian if he won, and now they are pressing to hold him to that promise.” Brastias: “King Pellinore has apparently abandoned his kingdom to pursue some fantastic creature he encoun- tered. It is as if he is under the spell of magic.” rOYal COnversatiOn None. The king is barely seen or heard from this court. intrigUe The king is actually quite distressed at the death of his son Madoc and, now, at the subsequent disappear- ance of the unnamed infant. The queen is more distressed about her loss than the gossips credit her with.
