A few words from your Ex
Greetings gentle friends. This issue is designed to keep us “legal” until a new Chronicler can be Shanghaied...er, um..I
mean until another volunteer of their own free will and without the use of threats and coercion steps up. In the
meantime, I remain your faithful former or to paraphrase the most noble Monty Pythons,
She’s thrown in the towel! Run up the white flag! Crossed the Rubicon! She has cashed in her chips! Packed it in.
Surrendered her sword/pen. She isn’t pushing up daisies but is growing a lovely patch in the garden.
THIS IS AN EX-CHRONICLER!

The Marshall’s Cross A Song by Sir Bryce de Byram
RAZO: Henry Curtmantle, King of England, had his eldest son crowned in his life time to as-
sure both the succession of the Crown and the preservation of his empire, which stretched from
the Pyrenees to the far North Sea. He established William Marshall, a simple household
knight, to the role of sire in arms to his son Henry, called “The Young King”. But fate’s wheel
turned against the King’s device and The Young King died of a flux. On his deathbed he bade
The Marshall to carry his crusader’s cross to Jerusalem, which William did “doing more in two
years than most do in ten”. Upon his death bed The Marshall, now raised by fortune and court-
ly skill to Regent of England under the minor King Henry III, returned to the Knight Templars,
whom he served for as a lay brother while in Palestine, for the salvation of his soul.
CHORUS:
The hammer blows of combat are the sweetest
psalms I know
Sing Exalt and Hosanna at the coursing of the
foe.
This cross I wear for Henry I will bear unto
my grave
My oath fulfilled my duty done and two souls
shall I save.
The Marshall sore with grieving he has come
now o'er from France.
His shield, his sword, his hauberk and his ever
steady lance.
In service to the Young King did this captain
ply his trade.
The spirit fled, the oath assumed now captive
to a shade.
CHORUS
‘Take up your arms’, said Henry, Roi the
father to the knight
‘Employ your skill, harass the foe and strike
with all your might.
But come ye back to England and unto my
court attend.
A king is ever needful of true valiant, loyal
men.’
CHORUS
And so did William travel to the land height
Palestine.
As confrere to the Temple for a time he was
consigned.
His bread, his wine, his mass he took with
brothers all around
Until at last his oath discharged he found him
homeward bound.
CHORUS
Now many years and many kings the
Marshall he did serve.
One called a rogue, one hailed a hero pledged
unto the Lord.
The Marshall at his death bed, as Regent to the
Crown
Called forth his loyal vassals and he bid them
stand around.
CHORUS
‘When I was o'ver in Outreamer I pondered
on my death
And so I claim the Temple as I draw out my
last breath.
May God and Michael guide me as I flee unto
the grave
My vows fulfilled, my oath discharged, and
two souls have I saved.’
CHORUS (‘have I saved’)
