The Legendary Ten Seconds - By Hearsay1483

By hearsay she heard of his riding to town,
For she feared Lord Gloucester would steal her son’s crown.
This thing to prevent, Earl Rivers tried
To ambush and kill him before he arrived.

Of treacherous men she would quickly name,
She felt Lord Hastings was largely to blame
For giving him warning of her true intent;
To comply with her wishes, they were not content.

King Edward her husband was buried and gone.
In mourning and sorrow she did not linger long.
In his codicil the Protector he named.
Of her anger at this, she was not ashamed.

By hearsay I’m told that the ambush did fail,
Earl Rivers arrested, so that is the tale.
To Sanctuary she did run and hide,
Her next plan of action she would later decide.
Her next plan of action she would later decide.
