The Villagers

A group of villagers in Easton, near Winchester, scheme to get the king and his court to leave town. The year is 801.

The villagers are scheming to get the royal entourage out of town. They don't want to feed the court while they winter in Winchester. Courting Trouble
The villagers had assembled under the yew trees, and the royals were the hot topic. One of the women had apparently heard a good one about the queen.
