Fascinating. I think I like that. It is different from most Arthurian versions. It gives them a chance to get ahead of the crowd and do some damage control, because something like that is almost guaranteed to get out eventually. ("Two may keep a secret, if one of them is dead.")

That would be awesome. In medieval times, herbs were highly important. Monasteries, manors, and castles had massive herb gardens. I love looking at the old patterns.
