The Skirmish of Steeple-Langford

Let me tell of the tale of the Skirmish of Steeple-Langford
Where the Triumvirate of Salisbury took a stand...
A stand for order in a time of Anarchy,
A stand to uphold justice,
A stand to right a grave wrong,
A stand to re-establish order in a falling county!

Led by the glorious Sir Tremaine,
A man of great wit and mind,
A man who would bring order to chaos,
A man with a stone keep!

parley was their action,
parley was what they asked of Sir Lycus,
parley was the council of Countess Ellen,
parley is what failed to convince Sir Lycus,

where parley failed, might could only turn the tide,
where the indecision of a timid countess would fail,
the action of three brave knights would succeed,

The triumvirate three charged with a mighty roar,
and a mighty crash was heard across the county,
the skirmish of Steeple-Langford ensued,

Sir Tremaine and Sir Lorek the Prudent felled their foe quickly,
quickly their foes fell, so they could find the vile Sir Lycus,
and whereas Sir Tremaine engaged both Lycus and his bodyguard,
Sir Lorek the Prudent, prudently dispatched them both from behind,

Ask, you of the third of the triumvirate?
the third, Sir Cassius the Energetic,
Impassioned by his love of his lordess,
Sir Cassius was locked in an epic contest,
an epic contest between he and Sir Gade,
blow after blow,
strike after strike,
neither could find an opening...

Onwards the triumvirate felled knight after knight,
Cassius still locked into an immortal struggle,
until he landed a great blow,
a blow severing Sir Gades torso,
a blow which would free him to engage another,
another Knight he had fought before,
A reckoning between he and the Famous Sir Amos,
a reckoning which would end quickly,

and with a simple call to his simple squire,
Sir Cassius had Jevon the Simple, bind Sir Amos's wounds
and then bind his hands...

Onward the brave triumvirate fought,
onward to glory,
onward to the Banneret Sir Hywel they fought,
Sir Cassius reached him first,
a felled him despite his bodyguards blows,
Jevon, bind his arms he cried!
Leaving Cassius to finish off the bodyguard,

covered in gore,
covered in blood,
covered in glory,
the triumvirate were victorious,
what repercussions would befall our three?
We will have to see!
