EPILOGUE


King Arthur was getting around pretty well with the use of a walking stick and Queen Gunievere had recovered from the cold she had caught in the Tower of London. There had been a big celebration at the castle of King Arthur with musicians, court jesters, acrobats and many dancing girls. The party had been for the BetterMan Knights, Robin Hood, his men and the soldiers and their families. The festive event had filled the great hall and spilled over into the courtyard.
There had been much food with pit cooked beef, pork, lamb and chickens. The wine and mead flowed like water and many of the party goers had lain around in a drunken stupor. During the celebration, King Arthur had called for Robin Hood to come before him and had granted him Knighthood, with his sword to each shoulder, dubbing him Sir Robin Hood of Naughtingham.

At the conclusion of the event, King Arthur call a meeting of the Round Table.
King Arthur waited until everyone was seated and said, "Sir Robin Hood, I cannot begin to thank you enough for your service to this kingdom in the rescue of my beloved Queen Guinievere. I will now pay you the agreed upon sum of 125,000 pounds sterling and 125,000 gold coins. This should go far in helping to further your cause of caring for the poor people of Naughtingham. You are also awarded a seat at the Round Table.
To my trusted friend and general of the Knights, Sir JonPop, I present the BetterMan Cross for gallantry and for your brilliant plan that resulted in such a small loss of men.
To All of you Knights that fought bravely in the rescue, I present the Legion of Merit, Medal and 5,000 gold coins.

King Arthur continued;

"As I have recently heard; It was while besieging the castle at Chalus France, that King Richard was shot by an arrow in the shoulder. Gangrene set in and he died at the age of 41. God rest his soul, but I believe in my heart that the world is rid of an evil man."

The End.
