A Clash of Kings – The Bloody Meadow
And there he stood with sword in hand,
the last of Darry’s ten…
A Clash of Kings Chapter 45 – Catelyn
Catelyn and Brienne listen to a singer sing of Lord Deremond and the Bloody Meadow.
This one must have been fate. I had a long busy day and I was fading fast. Because of this, I was not looking for a challenge when I was picking the next scene in the latest Catelyn chapter. Just as I was just about to draw a picture of Brienne suffering in the courtly dress that Catelyn made for her, I saw the first line of the song. By sheer coincidence, I had heard Ed Sheeran sing it on Youtube as part of an extended edition of his “Hands of Gold” performance from the show earlier that day. I can think of worse reasons to choose a prompt.
To make it clear this took place in the past, I put Deremond in crusader era chain mail, rather than the usual plate.
