To be asked to carry such important news as the birth of a royal child must have been a mark of great favour, so how did they decide? Edward in 1312 gave the ridiculously enormous sum of £50 to a messenger for bringing him 'good news' of Piers. Set him up for life!Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-69042411082289838552013-12-23T08:12:13.743+00:002013-12-23T08:12:13.743+00:00Merry Christmas to you!

(And of course to the shade of Edward II). <br /><br />I always wonder about those messengers who were paid exorbitant sums for bringing letters from someone's favourite, or news of the birth of a male heir, or things like that. A lot of them made out like bandits (or Despensers). Was it just a case of happening to be in the same room with whoever wanted the message sent, or did noblemen have a small stable of men who could be used as messengers, or did several guys jockey with each other trying to be the first to bring the news?

Amazing coincidence! There was meant to be a lavish feast detailed somewhere in the chronicles. Any ideas about this?<br /><br />Jim HerbertAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035208401284847353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-59410146361228871932013-12-22T14:37:12.554+00:002013-12-22T14:37:12.554+00:00Thanks, Esther, and Merry Christmas to you too!Thanks, Esther, and Merry Christmas to you too!Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-1836621293597106822013-12-22T14:35:13.794+00:002013-12-22T14:35:13.794+00:00Great post!
