Death of a Brother (Poem by Richard ~ June 1183)

It had been a brutal battle.
Aquitaine had been invaded quickly,
but we were strong.
The man was stabbed, despite his strong fighting.
I watched as he slid, falling down to the ground.
Blood seeped out of his armor.

Henry, the Young King was dead.
My brother was dead.

And now I stood as my fathers living, eldest son.
And now heir to the English crown.
