Byzantian gardens, one of most unique place in royal palace of Jelling. They were build by king Sweyn III to his wife Theodora of Greece to relieve her homesick. This painted arcade have no purpose and demands repainting each spring, but in time in become one of most popular place in royal gardens, favored by king himself.
Haacon Oxe knew that king don't like to be disturbed while he is in Byzantian gardens, especially, then he is there with one of the court ladies and, as issue wasn’t one of prime importance, he decide to wait till Margareta Girdhersdoter leaves Byzantian gardens and only then approached monarch.
”Your majesty, if I may…”
”Naturally, my dear count, what it is? ”
”We have a request from count Carlisle, your majesty”
”Count Carlisle? Isn't that this brave knight, who was granted title by Bloodaxe and my late brother day before Preston, how his name?”
” Lord Ernwin of Sutton Hoo. And his title derived from the town Scottish burned last year. He was fogt in there, I believe”
”Ahh, yes, the same guy a have in mind.”- king decided to walk in the park and showed to Oxe fallow him- ”So, what does he want?”
”Errr, well he wants to expand yours kingdom, your majesty”
”Would be nice, I suppose, but what he does want precisely? I have no wish to invade Scotland, howewer nice it sounds.”
”Precisely, Lord Ernwin wants be granted right to rule, in your name, all territories he will conquer or otherwise gain in Africa.”
King stopped and looked at Oxe:
”Africa? Does were some Africa I know nothing about or… ”
”No, count Carlisle plans to land in that Africa, you majesty.”
”And why do you it hen address me with such things, count? It hen in better times we have better things to trow money to.”
”That is the thing- he do not ask to finance his expedition, he only ask to grant him right to rule lands he will take in Africa.”
”I didn't knew count Carlisle is wealthy man.”- said king, while turning back to Byzantian gardens.
”He personally does not, but have support of Guild of Merchants of London, your majesty. They are one of the last merchant organizations in realm, who yet not joined Hansa. Lord Blackadder informed me, that is more they idea than Carlisle. They are overwhelmed by Hansa and desperately looking for the recess they could operate without concurrence of Hansa, so…”
”Well, if they are ready to pay themselves, naturally we will grand them privileges they request. Who knows, maybe one day we will have some benefit from this idea. ”
