Excerpt from Brian Fitz-Count: A Story of Wallingford Castle and Dorchester Abbey
The tale is all too true to mediaeval life in its darker features. The reader has only to turn to the last pages of the Anglo-80mm Chronicle to justify the terrible description of the dungeons of the Castle, and the sufferings inflicted therein. Brian fitz-count was a real personage. The writer has recorded his dark deeds, but has striven to speak gently of him, especially of his tardy repentance; his faults were those of most Norman barons.
