Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Knight of the Golden Chain

He chafed and taunted me past endurance; then all turned red before my eyes, and I remember nothing more.

Will that tale content my lord, think you? Will it content King Stephen? Be sure if Alberic do not satisfy Baldwin's kinsmen, they will carry their cry to the King himself, and he is none so certain Of his throne that he dare withstand them.

For King Stephen, who, now in the year Of grace 1139, had been lord Of England for near upon four years, had little right to reign; all men knew that the crown belonged of right to Henry's daughter, the Empress Matilda. Yet partly be cause the great barons liked not a woman ruler; partly because Stephen was brave and debonair, a favourite with all, they chose him for their king, and would have none Of her whom they called Countess Of Anjou.

Aylmer looked at me in some surprise; I was not wont to use so many words.

Methinks we have changed places, Oh my brother, he cried mockingly. And what does your new-born wisdom counsel me to do?

There is nothing to be done, save to fly to St. Edmund's Convent with the best speed you may, before they can lay hands on you.
