I've always wondered where the money from the attacks on the dromonds went. My theory is that some of it, at least, went into Edward's war chest to fund his fight against the contrariants. As for the Cinque ports, it seemed that they watched Edward's back and he watched theirs (or at least turned a blind eye to some of their activities).<br /><br />Would you like me to have a go at a map for you by the way?Jules Frusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207281934232383811noreply@blogger.com
