I. Strangers in the Forest
More than a hundred years had passed since the Normans had conquered England, but the two peoples still had not become one. The Normans held the castles, the land and the power. The Saxons, whose country it had once been, had to obey them, and many of them hated their masters. Even the language divided them. The Normans spoke French, and the Saxons spoke the old tongue of their fathers.
In those years King Richard, whom people called the Lion Heart, had gone to fight in the Holy Land. On his way home he had been taken prisoner in Austria, and nobody knew when he would return. While he was away, his brother, Prince John, ruled the country. John wanted the crown for himself, and the proud Norman lords who supported him did whatever they liked.
