It was a glorious victory for the Barony, unfortunately some men were slain, but that is the way of things when battle is engaged. After the pursuit ended and the forces reassembled, Phillippe dismissed the heavily wounded and suggested they also bury the dead at Trambley Priory. He gave the...
Phillippe was quite upset, perhaps even angry. The Baron was looking forward to having an unopposed crossing as he hoped to smash the skerrymen while they were still in their beds. Quickly he calmed down however, this was no time to flinch, with one swift motion the battle could still be carried...
