I am the only child of a nobly born gentleman whose family had made its considerable fortune from the importing of exotic textiles from far away lands. Papa had become so well known that he quickly became the main provider of textiles to the clothiers of the court of King Charles VI of France. When our beloved Catherin of Valois became the Queen consort of England's good King Henry V, there was a to be a Grande Compétition when she was crowned as Queen in Westminster Abbey in Février of 1421. Papa wished very much to go to this great celebration as he felt it would be a good opportunity, and so we did. Champions came from all over to compete. I had just turned 16 and there were parties and music and celebrations everywhere. It was all so very exciting. And then one day we were watching the Compétition of Archers. It was there that I saw him, standing tall and proud. And when he turned and looked at me and smiled, I thought I would faint. My heart started to pound so hard I was certain that Papa would hear it. For the rest of the day I watched the compétition while Papa went about on his business. And each time the young archer smiled at me I could hardly breath from the excitement. Apparently Papa was much smarter then I thought. For later that day, as we were getting ready to go out for our evening meal, he was telling me that the young man's name was Rotheric and that he was the fourth son of an Baron in Wales. His father had brought him down for the competition in order to; hopefully, negotiate an advantages marriage for the young man. At that moment I thought my heart would break.
