Chapter One For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Luke 12:2
April 5, 1199, Châlus, France Close to midnight Large black clouds filled the air, hiding the moon’s soft glow. The camp lay quiet, all waiting to hear word of their leader’s fate. Not wearing his chain mail, King Richard had taken an arrow between the neck and his left shoulder nine days earlier while foolishly walking the perimeter of Château de Châlus-Chabrol. A barber was called to remove the arrow, but his skills were not adequate and the wound festered until the skin oozed puss and turned black. Some prayed for a miracle, so the king could live on. Others counted the days and hours, certain His Majesty would shortly meet God.
