Monday, 11 December 1972 08:00 amEpisode 2.11: The Treaty
Writer: Terence Feely
OPENING SCENE
It is winter. A messenger rides into Arthur’s village.
Bran: Arthur! Cerdig and Yorath have made a pact.
Arthur: Cerdig and Yorath? Impossible!
Bran: That’s what they say!
Llud: Yorath? He’d never make a pact with the Saxons. The Jutes care for their Saxon neighbours like they would a venomous snake.
Arthur puts on his cloak.
Kai: Where are you going?
Arthur: To see Yorath. If he has made a pact, it leaves us naked to the north.
Arthur mounts his horse.
Kai: [to Bran] You must be mistaken.
Bran: On good authority, it’s the truth.
Arthur: I will hear that from Yorath himself. [to horse] Hey!
He rides away.
Llud: It’s an open invitation for Cerdig to mount a surprise attack, and wipe us and the entire village off the face of the earth.
