Bishop Nicholas.
Trond the Priest departed the land the same winter that the child was brought to King Inge. He journeyed to Thomas Beckett’s grave, and afterwards abode in England till his death.
Earl Skule.
He departed the land, say you? Then must he have changed the children and dreaded the vengeance of the Birchlegs.
Bishop Nicholas.
Or he did not change the children, and dreaded my vengeance.
Earl Skule.
Which surmise hold you for the truth?
Bishop Nicholas.
Either may well be true.
