488: Sir Gerin Slain!

Gobrwy the Bard sings:

Woe and sorrow
it cannot be!
The Story ends
for the Squires Three!

First there wert Gwinas
brave and true,
who defended Lord Merlin,
but was run through.

Second was Llyr,
mighty Owein's son,
who slew the bear,
but at Kent was done.

Third and last
Sir Gerin wert slain
his cloak was torn
on the Soisson plain!

Oh Mannanan son of Llyr
and Raven Bran, who's Head Lies near,
grant these heros glory be
and remember their names for eternity!

Sons of Salisbury
heed the call:
To war! To war!
For Vengeance all!

Good Lords and true, much have I been enjoying the tale of these three worthies of Salisbury. I pray that the chronical shall continue with the deeds of their heirs.
