Swords And Shields (Reign of the House of De Winter)
“Torches upon the walls and fires in the bailey lit up the night skies as those inside the castle settled in for the evening.
De Wolfe had brought one thousand and twenty-seven men with him, all men sworn to Edward and previously stationed at Nottingham Castle, so Spexhall was quite full by the time evening fell. The quartermaster, as well as Elizaveta and Daniella, had pulled together a filling meal of stew and beans while the soldiers found space and warmth to bed down for the night.
T...he hall was filled with men as night crept upon them, men who had been traveling for some time to reach Spexhall as well as men who had fought a battle that day and the day before. Drake’s troops mingled with those of Edward, all of them weary and ready for some food and rest. A heavy haze of smoke hung in the hall from the hearth that had a partially-blocked chimney, but no one seemed to care. They were coughing, and drinking, and eating the bread that the quartermaster and several soldiers had been relegated to bake, and overall the mood was rather festive.MoreLess
