The Earl of Warwick is holding a tournament in Ludlow, a bare step away from the Welsh border, and
Wales has already tried to errupt twice in the last few years. So far, a heavy military presence from England and an impassioned plea from their princess, Seren, has kept things more or less under control, but it has become clear to Edward III, now free from the pressure of the French armies following his glorious victory at Crecy, that it is time to do something about the fractious principality...
It is time too for other loose ends to be tied. John de Melton's death does not necessarily mean that the treasons so nebulously referred to by Longespee have gone away, Ireland remains curiously calm under the control of the Earl of Desmond, and have Edward III's concerns about the loyalty of his most powerful subject, the newly created Duke of Lancaster, really gone away?
