This one was intense. It seems the tension between Rhys, Catrin, the rest of the Welsh and King Edward may come to a head sooner or later, but seemingly sooner. There were a few times I thought Rhys and/or Catrin might lose their heads, along with about 1,000 bards. I couldn‘t help laughing at Rhys‘s use of his “husbandly authority” to get Catrin a bath and some sleep when he clearly would have preferred to go with her and get some sleep himself.

GingerAntics What an adventure. I can‘t wait for the next one. #SarahWoodbury #Bardd #WelshGuardSeries 2mo

I couldn‘t help laughing at this. It‘s just so Rhys (and oddly, Gareth as well). I imagined Rhys deciding to live vicariously through his wife during her nap after everyone had been up all night trying to keep an entire castle from going up in flames.
