Re: Prologue: Lexwyn
She almost wished she had risked staying to see who was outside the door to the hut rather than face a pack of wolves in the wilderness. She had heard the tales of werewolves and ghosts told around the fires by bards. She had never given such things credence before, but hearing the sound of a wolf pack this close filled her with such dread that she began to understand how one could imagine such things.
The wolves seemed to be getting closer as she endeavored to catch her breath by the tree. She would either have to get moving to keep ahead of their scent or perhaps climb the tree and hope they passed her by.

Medieval history is one of the more difficult to keep track of such things for. Political boundaries tended to be very fluid especially for ares like Wales and Scotland. Technically the Normans never even completely conquered Wales because Edward I "Longshanks" fought them quite a bit. He's called the "hammer of the Scots" but he liked to beat up the Welsh and Irish too.
