The country is torn by strife between King Stephen and his cousin Empress Maud. Robert of Gloucester is half brother to the Empress, and is with her in Normandy. King Stephen has the advantage now, while Empress Maud has strongholds in the west of England. From abroad she is building support for a renewed attempt on the throne. Ranulf, Earl of Chester, is married to a daughter of Robert of Gloucester. Earl Ranulf is powerful in his own right, and has not yet chosen to stand with one or the other in this war for the crown of England. Hoping they have peace now the Castle is aligned with King Stephen, the monks of Shrewsbury Abbey prepare for the three-day annual fair in honour of their namesake saint, held on the feast of Saint Peter ad Vinculum.
