Two tender lovers separated by tragic circumstance and misunderstandings, or by great responsibilities, like:
Alan Rufus and Eadgifu the Fair;
Alan again and Gunhildr Harold’s daughter;

Ships that pass in the night.
A brilliant collaboration that was all too short.

A nearby settlement is St-Aubin-du-Thenney, where the Tobins come from. It is one of countless locales across Northern Europe named for St Aubin of Angers, a late antique Breton native of Vannes, the home of the Sovereign House that gave to Europe’s royalty the ermine and to the common people prosperity, Parliament and to us all, large parts of the legend of King Arthur.
