The Briton

“Stephen died a few weeks ago. I received word yesterday. Henry is in Normandy and has been unable to cross the channel due to the winter seas. Knowing him, I imagine he’ll be too anxious to claim his throne—and he will brave the weather with Eleanor, despite the fact that she is again with child.”
Bronwen’s heart leaped. “Is Henry to be crowned in London?”
Jacques nodded. “Will you accompany me to the coronation, Bronwen? We shall see the king crowned and your sister wed. Will you be baptized so we can be married in church before we go? Will you go as Bronwen Le Brun of Warbreck and Rossall? Will you go as my wife?”
Bronwen looked up, her heart full. “We shall go together.”
