The destitute playing troupe of performers made up of Joliffe, Basset and his daughter Rose, her son Piers and her love Ellis, had a stroke of very good luck. After years of traveling the countryside hoping for a few coins that would allow them to survive, they come under patronage of generous Lord Lovell. Their prayers had been answered, thought the actors. The only request Lord Lovell made was that the troupe takes on Gil Densell, the young son of one of Lovell's bailiffs, as an apprentice. How could their generous patron be denied such a small favor?
Lord Lovell added to the troupe's good fortune by providing them with a very good job. The son of Lord Lovell's landholder and daughter of his friend, Sir Edmund Deneby, were to be married. The troupe was asked to go to Deneby Manor and perform as a betrothal present for the young couple. And while there, Lord Lovell says, "I wanted to be able to call on your wits if need be."
The bride-to-be was recently betrothed to another man - a man who died under suspicious circumstances shortly before the wedding. And her current marriage seemed rushed. Lovell wants to know what is going on behind the scenes.
While at Deneby Manor and during the readying for the celebration, the actors had a warm dry place to stay, good company and regular, meals. All considered luxuries to the once struggling actors. Joliffe, who was very popular with all who lived at the manor and the townspeople, found it easy to gather information about the Denebys.
Not hard to uncover was the evident distaste the promised bride and her mother, Lady Benedicta, had for each other and the wall of ice that stood between the bride's parents. Other mysteries, however, are harder to unravel.
The story is slow to start, but the delay is well worth it. Frazer holds your interest with deftly drawn characters acting in a stage of intricate and accurate details of medieval life. The author's attention to the factual events and trimmings of a performance troupe from that period, add to the delight of the story.
As the book ends, the answers to the mysteries are exposed and answers that one would never imagine appear.
History and mystery buffs alike, will enjoy A Play of Dux Moraud.
