The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay

CHAPTER XII
21/24

He neither sent for Countess Jehane, nor did she presume to seek him.

Her women tell me that she prayed all night before a Christ in her bed-chamber; and well she might, with a queen's crown in fair view.
In two or three days' time King Richard pressed out, very early, for Fontevrault.

I went with him, and so did Hugh of Durham, the Bishop of Poictiers, and the Dauphin of Auvergne.

These, with the Chancellor of Poictou, the household servants and guards, were all we had with us.
