You are knights of Salisbury who have come north ahead of the main army ready for the new campaign against orgales. You are at the home of your Lord’s brother in law, so you are among friends. Your role is to arrange temporary quarters for the army and prepare the host and his household for its arrival.
However, this is a double celebration – the arrival of old friends, heralding the arrival of the Lord’s kin, plus the Lord’s eldest son is 21 and ready to be knighted. There will be a celebration feast followed by a hunt the next day.
