Stephanus Marcus 7

Stephanus Marcus Book I Canto 2 Verses 2 and 3 Sir Sinefred, Knight of Bleadershame, did ride with James and Saint near close at side as aide. This mercenary knight served Liege as guide, protector, captain; he was seen well paid. Supreme in these: joust, battle scene, parade auspicious shield was viewed red bright in line. From pate to nape man wore a blackish braid, was never known as quaffer great of wine. With knife on huge amounts of mutton he would dine. Sir Knight of Bleadershame did know that James with guile now schemed against his brother's reign. In league, including Saint, were many names, distinguished dukedoms wanting more of gain. With Richard throned and great increasing drain to seek repulse of infidelic hoard, demand for money gave them nagging pain. Allegiance sworn, such oath could be ignored. Duke Morley stayed from tryst remaining monarch's sword.
