On 14 February 1283 Edward I was at Rhuddlan. The war in Wales was still raging, but the king and his advisers made time for other business.
On this day they dealt with six cases. Edward took a personal interest in the case of Madog de Brompton, a Welshman accused of murdering one Roger Dodesune. The king was shown the verdict of a jury in Shropshire, which found that Madog had killed Roger in

I was looking over books you have penned and your series on the Age of Arthur piqued my interest. Although my published work so far are about Southern folklore and Civil War history, I have always had a keen interest in the Age of Arthur. Unfortunately, both Hollywood and most fiction authors seem really hung up on the Mallory/French Romance version of the cycle. I am so tired of dudes in tin cans swanning about the countryside in search of fair damsels--or variants thereof. So I was heartened that you did not take that path and portrayed the Brittonic Period instead in a more historically correct late & post Roman context and drawing on the rich Celtic traditions. Kudos to your originality, I intend to put your Arthurian series on my to read list.
