Lord Ecgberht

King Ælla had made all necessary arrangements, he was ready for the Pagans but how was Northumbria in itself? 

It was a powerful Kingdom no doubt but were the citizens in support of how their King ruled?

Did they support the idea of a warrior Bishop for each had their own interpretation of Christianity?

"Fuck this man! King Ælla is doing as he pleases with no regard for how the people think about it!" A young man complained; he was approximately in his early twenties and his gentle features showed he has not had a hard life.

"Shush! Do not speak so loudly! Someone might hear you, young Lord!" An elderly man with the traditional monk aesthetic warned in a hushed tone.

This young man was dressed in an expensive robe, he had long brunette hair with golden eyes and he looked irritated by what was happening.

He was not a child and took an intense interest in what was happening around the world.
