The Story of a Norman

It was during the summer of 1232 that Fiona and Pierre met .It was a beautiful day when Fiona’s father – a knight in the Norman army introduced Fiona  to one of his finest soldiers who was going to be staying with them in their castle for a few weeks. The soldier’s name was Pierre. He  was young and handsome ,maybe only seventeen  or eighteen and was fairly tall and had dark brown hair.He was dressed in a woollen tunic which was embroidered around the hem. Fiona thought he was the extremely good looking and blushed when he bent to kiss her hand." Show Pierre the bedroom above the dining hall", said Fiona's father, '' that is where he will be staying  while he is with us here in our castle'.''Fiona obeyed and lead Pierre up to the finest room in the castle.''I am extremely tired after my long journey here,'' he said ''I will sleep now and will see you at the banquet your father has prepared  for tonight.'' Fiona closed the door and hurried down the spiral staircase to where she continued  working on her tapestry.

While she was working on the tapestry she heard screams coming from outside she looked out the window to her horror the castle wall was on fire - the CASTLE WAS BEING ATTACKED she  turned to run but at that moment an arrow came in the window and she died.
