We were agents of Empress Matilda. An elite comprised chiefly of Welsh archers, we were first called 'Black Briars' by Stephen of Blois, and it became our moniker henceforth.
For years our band harried Stephen's forces but we were eventually trapped and imprisoned. Of the Black Briars, I was the only one who escaped the hangman's noose. Formerly of the landed gentry (my father was an Anglo-Norman and my mother was Welsh), I soon found myself landless and on the run from Stephen's men. My sanctuary became Coedwig Gwyllt, a haunted wood in Glamorganshire.
