I' m a fan, so far, Ben, except for the violence against women which I find unusual to these chivalrous kinds of stories - but I am sure you have reasons to add that element for your plotline. I like the new title suggestion. I always associated Locksley with the home place of Robin Hood, but I don't remember any reference to Robin Hood in your story? I may have missed something? I look forward to the next part.

No references to Robin Hood. I don't think he fits in with the timeline. I'm sorry for the violence against women, it just comes out that way. The whole idea is that they aren't the chivalrous knights we grew up with. It's a violent time. It's the Dark Ages. They have chain mail instead of armour plating. There are warlords, and Saxon marauders. The Knights are out looking for adventure, but their ideas of adventure are a little sketchy. Locksley comes into this world having grown up 'beyond the wall,'and while he may have ideas and values of his own, he's influenced by those around him.

Okay! Understood! I need to go back and start at the beginning. I can see that.
