Serendipity at work. I had to look up the Bayeux Tapestry, the Battle of Hastings, a couple days ago.
The story is a good start in representing the times. The Tapestry is from 1066. Looking forward to what is to follow.
I googled these historical figures and found a very interesting story. Which you weaved into a tale of marriage. Being in USA we don’t usually read about 12th century English monarchs. Keep coming up with history background stories.
Another great story, well told. As always, thank you for writing and thank you for sharing your work.
The woman behind the man story. Nicely told and enriched with historical settings, Ogg. I enjoyed this tale swirling among deaths and failing during times of tribulations. Poor lady, sad that she missed out on love - perhaps, as noted, she would come to find that in time. It was a common thread, given the era.
Oops! When the third Lord Harfleur is introduced, I call him Richard. He should be Alan.
Thanks for the feedback that pointed this out. I won't edit until after the contest.
Very enjoyable! Really liked the historical aspect. Looking forward to the next chapter.
I think that you could have started with a much shorter start if you had started at the house were the agreement was made. It lacked that then what happened element.
I think you need to be more descriptive. It's very short and not very developed. I'd like a bigger world.
It is not bad writing, but it just seems to be lacking the "erotica" part of Literotica.
It was good as far as it went, would have liked to see the story progress further, see how she was treated by her new husband and how she settled into her role - did she indeed come to love him or not.
I loved it, but I'm a sucker for stories where the commitment comes first and then the relationship and love. I wouldn't mind seeing this story develop in other chapters.
