The Falcon And the Flower
“Jasmine began to miss Estelle’s support and wise words of advice and longed for the older woman’s return. Of course this also meant King John’s return, but it would almost be worth it to have the security of her grandmother’s presence.
King John’s foul reputation preceded him, once Mathilda FitzWalter’s still body was returned. The gossip and rumors spread like wildfire and were on every tongue until a pall hung over all Nottingham. Whispered plots of revenge were overheard and hushed up, and the ranks began to thin out. It became dangerous to venture anywhere near the forest lest a terrible accident befall those connected to the royal court. Wives urged their husbands to put a distance between them and the king and return to their own safer castles.
The Lady of Hay, Mathilda, was outraged and insisted her husband William de Braose leave Nottingham immediately. They would return to their own estates, which bordered those of her good friend Avisa, and wouldn’t she have a thing or two t...o pour into her ears.MoreLess
