3/x A local shipowner, Thomas FitzStephen, comes to the king with an offer: his father, Stephen FitzAirard had commanded the Mora, the ship that carried William the Conqueror to England in 1066. He asks for the same honour and offers his vessel.

It's Throwback Thursday, when we take a look back at happy memories of past projects.
2018-22, we excavated the ruins of Carrick, located in the INHP, Wexford. Built in 1169 by Robert FitzStephen, Carrick was Ireland’s first recorded Anglo-Norman castle.

Norman Philip de Barry arrived in Cork in the 12th century, gifted lands by his uncle Robert FitzStephen. From these roots grew a powerful dynasty, & Barryscourt Castle rose as a testament to their influence in Ireland.

how did the chornicler know this though. "I, Berold, the sole survivor of the wreck, heard Thomas FitzStephen cry 'I cannot face King Henry now that the heir has drowned! I will let myself drown rather than live out my days in Rouen under an assumed name, working as a butcher.'"

Run to ground, Hilde hides out in a cave only to find the Norman soldiers are nearby. And a half mad superstitious Captain is baying for her blood at the cave’s very mouth.
Love it if you’d read it. Any unwaged DM me for free access. Ebook also available.
