Camber of Culdi
“—Ecclesiasticus 38:3 It was a few days before the search could be resumed; and this time it was not Joram who rode at Rhys Thuryn’s side, but Camber himself, disguised as a Gabrilite monk.
Joram had wanted to accompany them, had begged his father to delay until he could secure leave from his duties at Saint Liam’s. But they could not wait, and dared not permit Joram to arouse suspicion by an un-sanctioned absence. Time was of the essence now, the need for action intensified by a series of new s...candals perpetrated by the brash young king.
After the first snows at Nyford, where Imre’s new capital was under construction, more than one hundred serfs and indentured workers had died of exposure because Imre had failed to provide adequate winter clothing and shelter. Another thirty-two perished when an earthwork collapsed for want of sufficient shoring. At Rhemuth, the old Gwyneddan capital, two score and ten peasants were bound over to serfdom and a half-dozen lesser nobles hanged for refusing either to pay the building tariff or submit to voluntary servitude.MoreLess
