Defending The Gate VIII - March 28, 2009
The year is 1485. Rumors have begun spreading through the taverns and villages that Henry Tudor is gathering an army to confront Richard Plantagenet and take the English throne. And while some would love to follow a Welshman to a battle in England, there are others who are wondering if it is time to resucitate Owain Glyndwr’s dream of a free Wales . . .
It is spring, and the time for alliances to be made. Behind the pageantry and games of tournaments, captains are sizing up their men and seeing if they are battle ready, and mercenaries are wondering who will pay the best for their services.
