What a sad chapter! Hoping young Swaefraed takes up the mantle and stops those northern horse lords.
Did the stress take him... or... in his defeat... was it his own hand?I, a mighty duke, an even mightier General, the last anglo-saxon ruler.... Defeated so easily.
Soon the news of my defeat will reach the capital, the Emperor's ear, the other nobles courts...
All of this is too much to bear. All the prestige I fought for, all the glory I earned in my people's name, all lost.
