Sweet Enchantress
“For on the day when she must yield all that was dear to her, a time when she must denounce her heritage, she would have preferred gloomy overcast weather.
A narrow lane between the galleries and field of combat permitted a few peasants a view of the tourney, while most of them gathered on the hills outside the newly erected palisades or climbed atop those village houses that had slate roofs. Several spectators had even occupied the cathedral’s bell tower.
If she had hoped no one would t...urn out for the jousting, she had erred. Richly arrayed burgers, guildsmen, scribes, castellans, priests, and noblemen of all rank, some of even dubious title, graced the canopied galleries at either side of the tiltyard. Their tumultuous activities and din of voices were quieted by the arrival of men-at-arms and the Field Marshall, an older, seasoned knight, who announced the rules, inspected the ranks of each group, and proclaimed the tourney under way.MoreLess
