and why should we follow you?
my men dont want to follow a pict into battle. let alone one leading a pack of angles and celts.
i thought tristan should let me command his men.
except marke.
as baron of wessex it is my duty to fight in this tournament for my people.
tristan is dead. my people have suffered enough. they see the wealth of lyonesse as more real than any alliance. my mind is set.
wictred of glastonbury.
i fight with no champion in my stead. know that.
what?
mace.
as you will be king and his daughter queen, does that mean donnchadh will be coming to the coronation.
a lot can happen in a month
shes in love with tristan. theyre intimates. if i expose them it will break markes heart and his hold on the other barons.
with markes champion in chains, well take castle dor. you can man your armies unopposed. there will be no one defending you in the waters.
i want markes throne.
may i dance with the queen, or does tristan have the next one?
a new song for tristan. slow.
no, no, no. well have more than accusations.
friends, friends hear me! weve forgotten the full moon isnt it time to ride out?
but the coronation should uphold tradition, surely it is not to be neglected already?
you have brought the allegiance to shame. who would fight for this?
there is very little time. fortunately, donnchadh has no quarrel with anybody here. hes asked me to give you a message.
it is compensation for the men you will lose attacking castle dor with donnchadh tomorrow. lets be honest, our people need a stronger leader.
melot. too long the ablest amoung us has been denied his rightful place. i pledge you my legiance and offer him my services as his second.
of course, of course. you know as things moved along i suspected them for some time.
you know what i could never work out? how it was conducted. how she got in and out of dor unseen.
what?
show me.
this is a godsend!
what will you say to him?
bar the door make sure no one gets in!
keep them back.
