Once Rhodri is comfbortably sat and has a wineskin in his hand, he passes the letter to the Priest, who opens it carefully, breaking the Archbishops red wax seal as he does so.
Inside are two pieces of Parchment, neatly and carefully folded. He opens the first. It reads;
Dear Guy,
Inside this letter is a will and rights to your lands. Walter having chosen Northumbria and Cumbria, the Parish of Yorkshire is yours. The will is signed by both me and a fellow Priest from Rome. Treat it well. Also in hear is an Insigna Ring. Wear it always, as it is proof to your right. Go to Yorkshire, and find a small chapel there of St. Cuthberts. Show the Priest there the ring, and he will give you a number of men. They will help you in seccuring a home of gevernance in the land. You may build a new one, or buy an old one.
Treat Yorkshire well my friend. I am sure you will.
Archbishop of York, Head of Church in London and England,
Hywel Caradog

'I best be going then, Priest. If you wish, you may ride up to Yorkshire with me. And no, I did not read the letter, the Archbishop told me to suggest it. But judging by that beautifull ring, you are now head of the Parish there?'
