Ivanhoe, Ch. 15

Waldemar Fitzurse went around gathering people to Prince John's side. He would hold out to them promises that would best appeal to the person/people he was speaking to at the time. He held out promises of freedom to wild young nobles, to nobles that were greedy he promised much land and wealth. In short, he gathered much support for Prince John.

When he got back to the castle, he found that De Bracy had changed from his banquet clothes into an English yeoman's garb. He told Fitzurse that he meant to get a wife like the Israelite tribe of Benjamen. He proposed to swoop down on the Lady Rowena, and carry her off. He and his men would dress like outlaws, and would not be suspected.

More soon!
