March 1327. Sir Walt Radulf now released from the king's prison in
London and granted a full pardon, including the return of his
confiscated land, is on his way home to Syhale, his manor in
Northumberland. His demesne on this manor was in the name of his
wife Katherine and thus spared confiscation. Unknown to Walt, even
this land is now in jeopardy and Katherine has huge debts, mainly
incurred by the amount of money spent by Walt, paying for bribes to
assure his comforts during his period of incarceration. Walt must
struggle to get his land returned from those now occupying it, who
are reluctant to vacate without a direct order from the king,
necessitating further appeals to the king's court. King Edward's
subsequent granting of the Barony of Plenderleith in the Scottish
borders to Walt is not without obligations. These will have far
reaching and disastrous effects on the Radulf family's plans for
their future, after the return of King David Bruce to Scotland and
the drums of war once again beating in the border areas.
