King Edward knows his reign rests upon a knife edge, but his belief in the Prophecy of St Thomas's Holy Oil gives him hope; it is said that a king who is anointed with the oil will be a lion amongst men. He must have it.

Meanwhile, Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, and his friend, Bailiff Simon Puttock, return from France with an urgent message for King Edward.
