Before leaving Baron Darcy I's militarized castle, Isabelle Walton had a more in-depth conversation with Catherine Nevel, Lady Latimer. One reason was that she had previously had great doubts about Madame Latimer's appearance and identity, and the basis for her suspicions came from her intuition. And her instincts told her that the young, mature and rational Madame Latimer would have a bright future.

This instinctive reaction was probably due to the fact that she had some misremembers the identities of Henry VIII's last wives. Although this Lady Latimer would become Henry VIII's last wife, Her Majesty Queen Catherine, seven years later, her surname was the surname of her second husband, Baron Latimer III, and she did not use her own family name, Parr, so Isabel was only intuition to judge her extraordinary life in the future.

On the other hand, Catherine Newell seems to be interested in the daughter of a knight from Richmondshire, even though the two are only first acquaintances. She sensed that there was something about Isabel that was very different from the other young aristocratic women of the North. She couldn't find the right words to describe these qualities, so she planned to build a good partnership with them first.

Imprisoned, Catherine invites Isabel to take a relaxing walk and talk in the open space between the two buildings of the internment. As the two strolled through the clearing, Catherine comforted her softly and looked at her with an appreciative gaze.

"Miss Isabel, forgive me for not not mentioning your brother again. Actually, I can feel your mood at this time, because I also have a brother. Catherine spoke softly, trying to soothe the anger in the other's emotions.

"Really? Mrs. Latimer, so you also have a brother who joined this pilgrimage? Isabel didn't want to talk about Ernest anymore and asked very coldly.

"If my brother William had lived in Yorkshire instead of Northamptonshire, I think he would have joined the pilgrimage." Catherine comforted each other very skillfully.

Isabel didn't speak, just walked aimlessly. She wanted to end her conversation with Madame Latimer as soon as possible, and leave the castle that had disappointed her. Perhaps Catherine saw this, smiled softly and said, "Miss, I know you're not in the mood to talk to me right now. If you wish, come to Snape, North Yorkshire, after this pilgrimage. ”

Isabel glanced at her, "Snape? Where in North Yorkshire? ”

For her, Yorkshire, located in the north-east of England, is indeed the largest county in the north. The vast plains are not only home to primeval forests and abundant water sources, but also to large amounts of fertile land, pastures and numerous small and inconspicuous villages. Prior to the administrative division in 1974, it was divided into North, East and West Districts.

Catherine giggled and said, "Miss, then do you know North Alelton?" Magistrates in North Yorkshire? ”

"Well, I've heard of it. The town has been around since Roman times and is a very important town in North Yorkshire. ”

"Snape, where I live with my husband and children, is about an hour's ride from North Arleton."

"yes, I see."

After the atmosphere of the conversation became relaxed, Mrs. Latimer casually asked, "Miss, do you remember a question I asked you just now?" ”

"Questions? Let me think. Well, you wonder if I traveled with Robert Asker to the northern counties? Isabel immediately recalled the conversation between the two men.

"Yes, it is only through personal experience that one can know how the lords of the north perceive the difference between Catholicism and Anglicanism. Or why the lords of the north, their retainers and tenant farmers preferred to adhere to the Catholic faith. ”

Isabel said to herself, "Hell, do you need to go to the northern counties in person to find out?" Barbaric, backward, full of peasants and outcasts who live on looting, stealing and violence. Could such a medieval region and people have a sense of foresight? Raise religious belief and ideological autonomy to the level of religious thought in the South? ”

But he said calmly: "Madam, in fact, this question is easy to figure out. The North is very far from the South, and it is not possible to respond in time to changes in the thinking and behavior of the South. And because of the historical 'Danish region' and other reasons in the northern region, the northern region is more often accustomed to sticking to its own traditional habits. ”

Another reason was the inside story of her own private peace talks with the rebel leader, which Isabel must never tell her. Catherine thought about it and smiled and said, "Mademoiselle is indeed a special young aristocratic woman. I really have hardly encountered the question of being able to look at religion as a northern aristocratic woman aside. ”

"Ma'am, you can also imagine yourself as a southerner who believes in the Anglican sect. In this way, you will be able to see the nobles and people of the northern regions. ”

"I appreciate your advice. Miss Isabel, I like you very much, would you like to be a trustworthy partner with me? Catherine looked at her with delight.

"No problem. As long as you don't disdain my status and status, I do. ”

"My father was also a knight, and my mother also came from a knightly family, so I will not feel uncomfortable with your status and status. On the contrary, I feel that you and I have a lot of things that we can appreciate to talk about further. ”

Perhaps unbeknownst to Isabelle, it was her sudden intervention that Catherine's behavior, strength of character, majesty, and religious beliefs during her later reign as regent of the kingdom had a profound influence on her stepdaughter, Queen Elizabeth I.

About two weeks later, in early November, the Duke of Norfolk led a cobbled together mercenary army of Italians and Germans from the south to Lincolnshire. At the same time, the few nobles in the north who supported the suppression of the rebellion, after receiving a conscription order from Henry VIII, led an aristocratic army of squires, tenant farmers, servants, and guards to the west of Baron Dassy I's castle to join the mercenary army led by the Duke of Norfolk.

A week ago, Sir Alex Congereve, who was responsible for guarding Nottingham Castle, received a letter from the Duke of Richmond and quickly mobilized the Duke's bodyguards to form an army of about 1,500 men with the squires and tenant farmers to the place designated by the Duke of Richmond to join up with several other aristocratic troops who had participated in the suppression of the rebellion.

Isabel, who was still in Lincoln Castle, suggested to the Duke of Richmond that she should return to Richmondshire immediately to assist her father, who was a magistrate, in maintaining peace in the county.
