The Bridal of Eubulo Le Strange

By Christopher Webster

Want to go back to the stirring times of the Middle Ages? In this interactive poem, you can. You play the part of Eubulo, a squire, who takes up service with William de Warenne at Conisbrough Castle and fall in love with Lady Alice, wife of the powerful Earl of Lancaster -- trouble follows, lots of it, involving a siege, a flight through Sherwood Forest and an insurrection against the authority of the king. The events of the poem are based on what actually happened in the years around 1317.

Christopher Webster

In Conisbrough, in the West Riding, I spent most of my childhood, where there's an old castle, presiding over the local neighbourhood. The castle teased me with its mystery and got me interested in history. Later, at University, I took a Literature degree, choosing an option on Jane Austen and Regency Society, and also one on poetry: worlds which I loved to get lost in – and now I show appreciation by trying my hand at narration.
