488 Praetor Syagrius (NPC) - Before the Siege of Civitas Baiocassium [Bayeaux]

Whilst waiting many days at dover for a fair wind to blow us across the English Sea to my beloved province of Soissons, King Uthers son prince Madoc and his war council made many plans for the support of my campaign to rid Soissons of the Frankish menace. Prince Madoc whilst tired and emotional one night said something about only liberating one city, given the strains he was under and his tired visage I did not seek to correct his mistake, I'm sure that when the time comes he will uphold the promises made to me by his father.
After an uneventful crossing we proceeded to unload the army at the fishing village of Asnelles. As an aside as the Irish mercenaries employed by Uther waded ashore during the first landing to capture the village watched a most strange sight, as the bare-footed Irish clambered up the beach on one of the ships which carried the knights and their horses, that had anchored off shore, I espied a Knight screaming and bellowing and waving his arms in a most animated fashion, I could not make out the full sense of ravings but it was clear that he was mightily impassioned, it was only when another older man appeared on deck that the younger knight seemed to come to his senses!

I made sure to be one of the first off the fleet so that whilst the long process of unloading was taking was taking place I rode out to visit some of my vassals and loyal allies to instruct them to meet with their armies at Rouen where we would meet up with Logres Army after they had reduced Civitas Baiocassium (the city the Cymric call Bayeaux).
