The Assault on the Manor at Worm's Ferry

On January 9, 1130, a party of 10 housecarls of the Earl of Jorvik, led by Angus McNasty assaulted the manor house at Worm's Ferry, which had fallen into the hands of bandits.

Pictured below,  Taffy the Welsh thief scouts the second floor entrance, peering into the window of the bandit captain's bedroom.  This would later prove a very dangerous position to Wulfric and Duda.   At the ground, Welshie stands guard with his warbow.  A donkey cart has been put into position in front of the south door.
