Up this road they bring a catapult, a weapon never seen in Britain before.
Henry VIII has been visiting his new-built palace at Nonsuch and now he enters the village, this is an older king made grumpy by a sore on his leg which will not heal He is here because of two lady pharmacists, news of whose skill has reached him so he hopes they can cure him with their herbs and potions.
