Green Darkness (2014)
“He had marched his men from Southwark upriver to Kingston where he crossed the Thames; he had marched them down the north bank and through Westminster while gathering defeat hung as heavy as the rain clouds, black as the February mud through which they struggled with their gun carriages.
There were conflicts along the way, a few men shot. Hourly there were deserters who saw that French help would never come in time and that the London citizens were aroused to fight any invasion of their lib...erties and made no exception of Wyatt.
On February 7, Wyatt was taken to the Tower. During the next days his ringleaders joined him there, including Courtenay and the doddering old Duke of Suffolk. The Queen had a Te Deum sung in Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s. Hysteria died down.
And Anthony, in high spirits, came home to the priory over the repaired drawbridge. A pack train of provisions had finally arrived from Cowdray; Ursula had been able to order a suitable dinner for the returning warrior, who was mightily pleased by his victory over Wyatt’s troops in the skirmish at Charing Cross.MoreLess
