The proud villeins

(Bridges over time) Ivon de Clairpont, knight of the great Norman abbey of St Simeon, slept by the blacksmith's fire at Gildenford for the last time as a free man. A week later he was a thrall, betrayed and sold into slavery in the wilds of godforsaken Northumberland. Though he would sooner have died, after four escape attempts he began to accept his fate and love the despised Saxon woman who nursed him in his despair, yet deep down he refused to forsake his only inheritance: the memory of freedom which becomes a dream and an ambition for his descendants
