| (1, 0) 464 | Take him. Tie his hands and arms. |
| (1, 0) 467 | Tie him up I said. Stand him here. |
| (1, 0) 468 | Gwilym Brewys. I caught you once before, |
| (1, 0) 469 | In battle. As a prisoner of war |
| (1, 0) 470 | You were free to walk this castle's halls, |
| (1, 0) 471 | Your wounds were nursed … |
| (1, 0) 472 | This is how you repay me! |
| (1, 0) 473 | Making Gwynedd's queen a harlot |
| (1, 0) 474 | And myself a cuckold, to be ridiculed |
| (1, 0) 475 | In the courts of France and England. |
| (1, 0) 488 | This indiscretion? Make you pay! |
| (1, 0) 489 | You French lords are lousy jesters. |
| (1, 0) 490 | When I beat you in battle that cost you |
| (1, 0) 491 | A third of all you owned. The whole |
| (1, 0) 492 | Of your possessions wouldn't come close |
| (1, 0) 493 | To paying for this infamy tonight. |
| (1, 0) 494 | Oh yes, I'll take your castle in Builth. |
| (1, 0) 495 | I'll also take your life. |
| (1, 0) 502 | If the Pope himself and the whole |
| (1, 0) 503 | Of Christendom vowed to rise against me – |
| (1, 0) 504 | I'd still take your life. |
| (1, 0) 509 | Shut him up men. Gag his insolence. |
| (1, 0) 512 | You? |
| (1, 0) 515 | What of that? |
| (1, 0) 517 | And if it was, would that |
| (1, 0) 518 | Make your whoring any less heinous? |
| (1, 0) 521 | This is no time to discuss Hubert's estates. |
| (1, 0) 525 | Ma dame – I don't hear your counselling. |
| (1, 0) 526 | I see only this treachery |
| (1, 0) 527 | This desecration of my bed, my wife … |
| (1, 0) 532 | Aye, no one but he. |
| (1, 0) 533 | Yet you'll not persuade me. |
| (1, 0) 534 | You'll not have your way. |
| (1, 0) 539 | Ma dame your concern for me is touching. |
| (1, 0) 542 | Easy though to cast aside your clothes |
| (1, 0) 543 | To toss your purity to the swine. |
| (1, 0) 547 | Are you claiming that such thoughts |
| (1, 0) 548 | Were in your mind as you took |
| (1, 0) 549 | This scoundrel to the royal bed? |
| (1, 0) 553 | Not even adultery's enough for you. |
| (1, 0) 554 | Your shameless mocking |
| (1, 0) 555 | Is insult upon injury Siwan. |
| (1, 0) 559 | A Frenchwoman best served by a Frenchman eh? |
| (1, 0) 564 | Gwilym Brewys's life is what you're desperately trying to save. |
| (1, 0) 566 | So, then – he will die. |
| (1, 0) 569 | To hell with the kingdom and with you. |
| (1, 0) 570 | I've lost my wife tonight. |
| (1, 0) 571 | Now you can lose your lover. |
| (1, 0) 573 | Take him to the dungeons. |
| (1, 0) 576 | This vermin will hang. Like a common brigand. |
| (1, 0) 578 | Yes. He'll hang. |
| (1, 0) 581 | No – stay away from him. |
| (1, 0) 583 | I never thought I'd hit you … |
| (1, 0) 584 | Take him from here. |
| (1, 0) 585 | Take her to the tower loft. |
| (1, 0) 586 | And lock her up. |
| (2, 0) 919 | Take that chain and fetter from her leg. |
| (2, 0) 920 | Her degradation's done. Over. |
| (2, 0) 922 | I wouldn't dare, would I? I wouldn't dare? |
| (3, 0) 931 | I sent my son to escort her here. |
| (3, 0) 932 | Is he with her? |
| (3, 0) 935 | A whole year, yes … Is she well? |
| (3, 0) 938 | Confinement, not imprisonment. She had everything |
| (3, 0) 939 | She asked for, apart from her freedom. Two maids |
| (3, 0) 940 | Waiting on her every whim, a courtyard for fresh air … |
| (3, 0) 942 | And by that, you're implying – what? |
| (3, 0) 943 | Tell me girl. |
| (3, 0) 945 | A command, yes. |
| (3, 0) 950 | My son married Gwilym Brewys's daughter, |
| (3, 0) 951 | As arranged. How could we have allowed |
| (3, 0) 952 | Your mistress to have danced |
| (3, 0) 953 | In the hall of Brewys's widow? |
| (3, 0) 955 | For a royal family life itself |
| (3, 0) 956 | Is often only a ceremony. |
| (3, 0) 958 | Everybody changes. Even our memories change. |
| (3, 0) 959 | Anger changes. Vengeance changes. |
| (3, 0) 960 | How has your mistress changed? |
| (3, 0) 961 | Tell me what your observed. |
| (3, 0) 963 | Have you deserved to be struck? |
| (3, 0) 967 | And she's let that habit slip? |
| (3, 0) 970 | That's not what was on your mind, girl. |
| (3, 0) 971 | Tell me what was. |
| (3, 0) 973 | The hanging of Gwilym Brewys devastated her. |
| (3, 0) 974 | Her love of life went with Gwilym into that noose. |
| (3, 0) 975 | That's what you're telling me. |
| (3, 0) 977 | I have to ask someone. A year |
| (3, 0) 978 | Without a beating has made you impudent. |
| (3, 0) 981 | You're also married aren't you? |
| (3, 0) 983 | Forgive me. Yes. One of my retinue. |
| (3, 0) 984 | He was killed in battle at Castell Baldwyn. |
| (3, 0) 985 | A brave lad. |
| (3, 0) 990 | But a daydream, not a nightmare? |
| (3, 0) 991 | He was killed as we tried to scale the castle walls. |
| (3, 0) 992 | I remember it. D'you remember bidding him goodbye? |
| (3, 0) 1000 | Every husband and wife |
| (3, 0) 1001 | Are just starting to get to know each other, |
| (3, 0) 1002 | Whether it's two weeks or twenty years. |
| (3, 0) 1003 | You're a brave one too. |
| (3, 0) 1005 | You got on with living your life. |
| (3, 0) 1007 | There isn't one brave and thinking soul |
| (3, 0) 1008 | Who hasn't at some point contemplated |
| (3, 0) 1009 | Not carrying on with life. |
| (3, 0) 1010 | To us all, life is a gruelling gift. |
| (3, 0) 1012 | A prince is a man isn't he? |
| (3, 0) 1014 | Doesn't she already know? |
| (3, 0) 1024 | Showing a weak side is to show one's humanity – |
| (3, 0) 1025 | Is that it? |
| (3, 0) 1027 | And it's little children who enter the kingdom of love? |
| (3, 0) 1028 | I'll mull over your lessons Alis. |
| (3, 0) 1037 | The Pope's excommunication will yet come, |
| (3, 0) 1038 | If that's of any consequence now … |
| (3, 0) 1040 | What rumours have you heard around the court? |
| (3, 0) 1043 | That issue is to be settled today, |
| (3, 0) 1044 | By your mistress. The choice is hers. |
| (3, 0) 1045 | A war, or the end of Gwynedd. That's why |
| (3, 0) 1046 | I called her up from the confinement of her rooms. |
| (3, 0) 1047 | The fate of Wales lies in her hands. |
| (3, 0) 1049 | Stay nearby, in the maidservants' room. I may |
| (3, 0) 1050 | Need to call you back in a while. I hope so. |
| (3, 0) 1054 | Siwan! |
| (3, 0) 1056 | Siwan! |
| (3, 0) 1058 | Siwan – it's me, Llywelyn … Siwan! |
| (3, 0) 1060 | I need you Siwan … Me, Llywelyn. |
| (3, 0) 1062 | I need you Siwan. |
| (3, 0) 1065 | Why shouldn't that be? |
| (3, 0) 1067 | A year to this morning. |
| (3, 0) 1068 | Oh yes – I've been counting the days too. |
| (3, 0) 1070 | It is May Day eve. |
| (3, 0) 1072 | Unfeeling? What do you mean? |
| (3, 0) 1073 | I don't understand. |
| (3, 0) 1076 | To continue that talk between us. The talk |
| (3, 0) 1077 | That started and ended a year ago. |
| (3, 0) 1081 | I need you, Siwan. I'm begging, not commanding |
| (3, 0) 1082 | And I didn't choose this morning to wound you. |
| (3, 0) 1083 | Last night a messenger came to me from South Wales. |
| (3, 0) 1084 | That's why I've summoned you now. God rest Gwilym's soul. |
| (3, 0) 1085 | Hubert de Burgh is the thorn in my flesh now. |
| (3, 0) 1086 | Here – that night – you foresaw this. |
| (3, 0) 1087 | You foretold it, like some Cassandra. |
| (3, 0) 1088 | All your words have come to pass, and I |
| (3, 0) 1089 | Must once more go to war against your brother. |
| (3, 0) 1091 | The Council hasn't yet been convened. |
| (3, 0) 1092 | I'm seeking your advice first. |
| (3, 0) 1093 | Then I'll consult my councillors. |
| (3, 0) 1095 | I've a right to your advice. Adultery |
| (3, 0) 1096 | And confinement don't lessen my rights. |
| (3, 0) 1100 | The prerogative of Gwynedd's crown |
| (3, 0) 1101 | Is what I'm exercising. And that crown |
| (3, 0) 1102 | Is now what's at stake. |
| (3, 0) 1104 | If that's how you wish to see it. |
| (3, 0) 1107 | I was informed last night |
| (3, 0) 1108 | Of William Marshall's death. |
| (3, 0) 1113 | Last year Gwilym Brewys's lands |
| (3, 0) 1114 | Were placed in Marshall's charge. |
| (3, 0) 1116 | Those lands now pass on to Hubert de Burgh. |
| (3, 0) 1120 | And the Earl of Gloucester recently died. |
| (3, 0) 1122 | Yes. The child's guardian |
| (3, 0) 1123 | Also happens to be Hubert de Burgh. |
| (3, 0) 1127 | Hubert has charge of those too. |
| (3, 0) 1131 | Everything you prophesied is coming true, Siwan. |
| (3, 0) 1136 | His lands are now stretched from Hereford to Cardigan, |
| (3, 0) 1137 | Spanning all Dyfed, Gower, Brecon and Glamorgan. |
| (3, 0) 1138 | Gwilym Brewys and Marshall and the Earl of Gloucester |
| (3, 0) 1139 | Have all served to feed Hubert's voracious aspirations. |
| (3, 0) 1144 | It's madness I know. But how can I sit back |
| (3, 0) 1145 | Without forcing fortune? There are still lands |
| (3, 0) 1146 | To the South split among the grandsons of Lord Rhys |
| (3, 0) 1147 | Which cling to their independence, and to my |
| (3, 0) 1148 | Protection. I must show that I still have |
| (3, 0) 1149 | The strength to deserve their allegiance. |
| (3, 0) 1152 | Yes. And then his lands. |
| (3, 0) 1153 | Would be greater than Gwynedd. |
| (3, 0) 1154 | He would be two thirds of Wales. |
| (3, 0) 1155 | His jaws a pincer closing round my northern kingdom. |
| (3, 0) 1158 | That's my quandary. |
| (3, 0) 1159 | That's why I need to act soon. |
| (3, 0) 1161 | The King's in the English Court. |
| (3, 0) 1162 | I must rally my lands to attack him |
| (3, 0) 1163 | And use that call to arms to widen the war |
| (3, 0) 1164 | Against Hubert and the Marcher lords |
| (3, 0) 1165 | For they're all arrayed against me. |
| (3, 0) 1166 | I'm now the common foe. |
| (3, 0) 1173 | But never before have Glamorgan and the South |
| (3, 0) 1174 | United under one Prince, threatening us. |
| (3, 0) 1175 | War is now inevitable. |
| (3, 0) 1180 | Everything you and I have striven for |
| (3, 0) 1181 | Is at stake. My crown, our bloodline, |
| (3, 0) 1182 | Wales's proud standing and secure future. |
| (3, 0) 1185 | A year ago today I did consider these matters fully. |
| (3, 0) 1187 | Here – in this room – you prophesied |
| (3, 0) 1188 | The consequences of executing Gwilym Brewys. |
| (3, 0) 1189 | Then in the Council, at the Court, I repeated |
| (3, 0) 1190 | Your warnings. I spared no details. |
| (3, 0) 1191 | They were debated. Ednyfed Fychan agreed with you. |
| (3, 0) 1192 | The Bishop of Bangor agreed. I too believed you. |
| (3, 0) 1193 | I knew that the Kingdom of Gwynedd and my crown |
| (3, 0) 1194 | Were being risked, when I hanged Gwilym Brewys. |
| (3, 0) 1196 | It's right that I tell you why, |
| (3, 0) 1197 | And I will tell you shortly. But first my Lady, |
| (3, 0) 1198 | Matters of policy. Back to the old discipline. |
| (3, 0) 1201 | There lies our hope. The earls and bishops |
| (3, 0) 1202 | Who went on the crusades are returning. |
| (3, 0) 1204 | Yes. He'll be back in England |
| (3, 0) 1205 | Before the summer's end. |
| (3, 0) 1209 | No. I can not – not if I hope to keep |
| (3, 0) 1210 | The southern lords' allegiance. If they see me |
| (3, 0) 1211 | Stalling now, they'll scuttle like mice |
| (3, 0) 1212 | To Hubert's house. I must attack before summer. |
| (3, 0) 1214 | Perhaps. Why? |
| (3, 0) 1231 | Your advice seems sound. And your advice |
| (3, 0) 1232 | Is in the best traditions |
| (3, 0) 1233 | Of Gwynedd's measured policy making. |
| (3, 0) 1234 | Retaking those newly garnered lands |
| (3, 0) 1235 | In Hubert's kingdom would buckle again |
| (3, 0) 1236 | The belt of my grip on Wales. |
| (3, 0) 1237 | I'll follow your advice, Siwan – on one condition. |
| (3, 0) 1239 | I'll follow your advice |
| (3, 0) 1240 | If you return today to my table and my bed. |
| (3, 0) 1242 | Would you accept that? |
| (3, 0) 1245 | For killing Gwilym Brewys? |
| (3, 0) 1256 | He died with dignified disdain – it was |
| (3, 0) 1257 | A death worthy of your love. |
| (3, 0) 1261 | Didn't it cross your mind Siwan |
| (3, 0) 1262 | That I could love you as much as Gwilym Brewys did? |
| (3, 0) 1264 | Is the chasm between us that great? |
| (3, 0) 1283 | That's true. I regret that to this day. |
| (3, 0) 1284 | He had to die. |
| (3, 0) 1285 | But I didn't have to hang him. |
| (3, 0) 1289 | You can't understand why. For you, I don't exist. |
| (3, 0) 1291 | I know. Your Gwilym was closer to me in one way |
| (3, 0) 1292 | Than you were. He saw me as a person. |
| (3, 0) 1293 | I had to gag his mouth, to stop him |
| (3, 0) 1294 | Betraying my truth before you. |
| (3, 0) 1298 | Telling you would be like baring my breast |
| (3, 0) 1299 | To your venom's barbs. |
| (3, 0) 1301 | Our marriage was a political union. |
| (3, 0) 1302 | Between us – a divide of twenty five years. |
| (3, 0) 1303 | That's the common practice. That's how |
| (3, 0) 1304 | Political pacts are made. The fate |
| (3, 0) 1305 | Of countries and crowns hang on such things. |
| (3, 0) 1306 | But four years after that wedding, when you |
| (3, 0) 1307 | Came to Arfon, a vision of virginal beauty, |
| (3, 0) 1308 | My heart stopped, I was breathless, as if I'd seen the Grail. |
| (3, 0) 1309 | There was a light where your feet had walked |
| (3, 0) 1310 | And when I felt you trembling. |
| (3, 0) 1311 | Pressed against me, girdled by my arms, |
| (3, 0) 1312 | I said, I showed … nothing. I didn't want |
| (3, 0) 1313 | To give you any cause for further fright. |
| (3, 0) 1314 | I didn't even discomfort you with a kiss. |
| (3, 0) 1315 | No cloying embraces. Nothing to make you |
| (3, 0) 1316 | Recoil from me. I held back. I was courteous, |
| (3, 0) 1317 | Even formal, in my advances. You relaxed. |
| (3, 0) 1318 | Into the familiarity of these rooms, into my company |
| (3, 0) 1319 | And I became part, a vital part perhaps |
| (3, 0) 1320 | Of your days' routine. |
| (3, 0) 1321 | I worshipped you from a discreet distance, |
| (3, 0) 1322 | From afar and without voicing my thoughts. |
| (3, 0) 1323 | And, wanting to involve myself with you more, |
| (3, 0) 1324 | I began engaging you in the affairs of my state. |
| (3, 0) 1325 | I saw your wisdom, your acumen, burgeoning. |
| (3, 0) 1326 | You impressed me so. I remember that afternoon |
| (3, 0) 1327 | You returned from England, from your father's court. |
| (3, 0) 1328 | There was the threat of invasion then. |
| (3, 0) 1329 | You were only fifteen, and Dafydd our son |
| (3, 0) 1330 | Hardly two months old. You had saved |
| (3, 0) 1331 | My kingdom, had staved off war. |
| (3, 0) 1332 | That night it was you who embraced me. |
| (3, 0) 1333 | I had no language to express my bliss, |
| (3, 0) 1334 | I had to stop my own body from trembling … |
| (3, 0) 1335 | After that night I became ruthless |
| (3, 0) 1336 | Towards this kingdom's enemies. I resolved to build |
| (3, 0) 1337 | A mighty inheritance for our son. If I could, |
| (3, 0) 1338 | I wanted to give him the whole of Wales. |
| (3, 0) 1339 | I persuaded the Pope and the English crown |
| (3, 0) 1340 | To acknowledge me as the Prince of Wales. |
| (3, 0) 1341 | I constructed a great kingdom, |
| (3, 0) 1342 | As a shrine to you, a monument of my love for you. |
| (3, 0) 1344 | What good would it have done you to know. |
| (3, 0) 1345 | There was a mountain range of years |
| (3, 0) 1346 | Between us. I understand that too, |
| (3, 0) 1347 | I'm a statesman. I don't ask the impossible. |
| (3, 0) 1348 | For me, your fidelity sufficed. |
| (3, 0) 1351 | In twenty years of living together |
| (3, 0) 1352 | You never saw that. |
| (3, 0) 1354 | Jealousy, yes, perhaps. |
| (3, 0) 1355 | But you gave him the gallows. |
| (3, 0) 1357 | You thought it wise, in your contempt for me, |
| (3, 0) 1358 | To try to sway my mind with political persuasion. |
| (3, 0) 1359 | You thought I'd trade my desecrated bed |
| (3, 0) 1360 | For a castle gained, that I'd accept |
| (3, 0) 1361 | That my wife had been soiled, just to keep a pact |
| (3, 0) 1362 | And secure borders. |
| (3, 0) 1363 | I answered contempt with contempt. |
| (3, 0) 1364 | I hanged him to make your threats become real, |
| (3, 0) 1365 | To show the wife who sullied me |
| (3, 0) 1366 | That there was one thing for which |
| (3, 0) 1367 | I'd throw away my crown and kingdom. |
| (3, 0) 1373 | Your contempt for me that night |
| (3, 0) 1374 | Undid half a century's careful strategy. |
| (3, 0) 1376 | The unintentional is the key to how history happens. |
| (3, 0) 1377 | That night your clenched mind opened and handed me |
| (3, 0) 1378 | A key to unlock mayhem. |
| (3, 0) 1390 | That's what marriage is. Having the ties |
| (3, 0) 1391 | Without the common knowing. |
| (3, 0) 1392 | Drifting into it, uninformed, untutored – |
| (3, 0) 1393 | A grown man and a child are in the same trap. |
| (3, 0) 1394 | Each a victim of what's forced upon him, by chance. |
| (3, 0) 1395 | Lost in intricate games |
| (3, 0) 1396 | Where he had no say in drawing up the rules. |
| (3, 0) 1398 | And that depends on you. |
| (3, 0) 1399 | Will you come back to my table and my bed? |
| (3, 0) 1401 | The war's inevitable now. |
| (3, 0) 1402 | You may still choose what you do with me. |
| (3, 0) 1405 | You must come back of your own accord. |
| (3, 0) 1407 | Then – I'll go to war. And lead the fighting myself. |
| (3, 0) 1409 | You, a princess and a king's daughter, |
| (3, 0) 1410 | You're well versed in threats and ultimata. |
| (3, 0) 1411 | They're part of our lives daily. |
| (3, 0) 1414 | You know that's been offered. |
| (3, 0) 1434 | I'm not worthy of you Siwan. |
| (3, 0) 1438 | Can you forgive me Siwan? |
| (3, 0) 1440 | That night, that twelvemonth back, |
| (3, 0) 1441 | My love flamed into hate. Malice. |
| (3, 0) 1442 | That night, I'll tell you, – |
| (3, 0) 1447 | Will you forgive me Siwan? |
| (3, 0) 1450 | The hanging. That fit of fury. |
| (3, 0) 1451 | For relishing your anguish. |
| (3, 0) 1467 | Will you come back to me Siwan? |

| (3, 0) 1475 | Purgatory's fires can mould a marriage's redemption. |
| (3, 0) 1476 | I'm the fire that blistered you, almost killed you, |
| (3, 0) 1477 | Tried to burn you to a cinder, you and the memory |
| (3, 0) 1478 | Of that boy who leapt to his death |
| (3, 0) 1479 | Still proclaiming his love for you. |
| (3, 0) 1480 | We've scorched each other. But not quite destroyed. |
| (3, 0) 1481 | Come back to me Siwan. |
| (3, 0) 1483 | Your son's whole future bids you back. |
| (3, 0) 1486 | Despite my age I might win that war |
| (3, 0) 1487 | And win you back. |
| (3, 0) 1490 | That's enough. You're as good as back already. |
| (3, 0) 1493 | Goodwill is love. Siwan, my wife, |

| (3, 0) 1495 | I'll be eager and lusty. I'll smile a goodbye |
| (3, 0) 1496 | For you. I'll be fighting this war for you. |
| (3, 0) 1502 | You'll live a long time after me. |
| (3, 0) 1506 | What's that? |
| (3, 0) 1518 | The grey friars. Why Franciscans? |
| (3, 0) 1521 | Your wish conceals some coded meaning. |
| (3, 0) 1522 | I thought you'd be buried with me in Aberconwy. |
| (3, 0) 1528 | Alright, my heart. I'll do everything |

| (3, 0) 1540 | You haven't struck her for a year, she says. |
| (3, 0) 1541 | She seems to miss the sting of your palm. |

| (3, 0) 1545 | I'll give you away as a wife to the bravest lad |

| (3, 0) 1547 | The crown. My Princess, I crown you anew |
| (3, 0) 1548 | And give you half of Gwynedd's lands. |
| (3, 0) 1549 | I give you my right hand. I kiss your hand. |
| (3, 0) 1550 | We'll go to the great hall. We'll banquet. |
| (3, 0) 1551 | This afternoon I'll summon the councillors to Court |
| (3, 0) 1552 | And lay before them Gwynedd's new strategy for war. |
