In the days coming up to Christmas, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later to be Richard III) seeks shelter in York from a snowstorm that has blocked the roads into Middleham. As usual, he stays with the Austin Friars at the Lendal, with their massive library of precious books. Normally, he would enjoy his visit with the Friars, but this time, he is worried that he will not make it home in time for the Christmas Feast with his wife Anne, his small son Edward, and his friends, Francis and Nan Lovell. He prays for a miracle--and soon the skies begin to clear and the snow melts. Anticipating an early start the next morning before a new storm sweeps in, the Duke heads to his bed chamber to get some much-needed rest... And then he is rudely woken by loud noise outside his window. Someone definitely does not believe in 'silent night'!

What must a Duke do to get a bit of peaceful sleep??

Based on an actual incident in late medieval York!
