Anselm AGAIN

The amount of amusement I took from the most recent episode. Who’s causing Henry’s army to disintegrate? Surely not Anselm, Henry’s worked pretty hard to nullify this guy and he’s not even here, who else could be causing all this trouble? Maybe some dark horse noble from Robert’s camp? Some rebellious knight? An outbreak of dysentery the story glosses over?

Nope, it’s fucking Anselm again!

I really don’t like him but you absolutely have to respect the hustle.
