The Bloody Quarrel (The Complete Edition) - Plot & Excerpts
Few people had actually seen King Aidan but stories of his fury and revenge had been told and retold across the city a thousand times. All had felt the lash of his anger, if not from him then from his guards. Before dawn, the square was packed with people, with more trying to squeeze in all the time. Every window that overlooked the square was full of people and there were hundreds clustered on the roofs of the houses that lined it. The only space the crowd could not fill was in front of the castle, where a makeshift platform had been by built by Brendan and a score of helpers. It was a simple affair, barely enough room for a dozen men to stand on, and it was only half the height of a man off the ground. But it was enough for it to be seen. A triple ring of Fallon’s men surrounded it. None of them were wearing surcoats now, for none wanted to wear the badge of the King, while there were not enough surcoats of either Prince Cavan or the Duchess of Lunster to dress so many. They all carried shields but kept their swords in the scabbards.
