Christophe, having returned to the hall with the Prince, look on as the Duc de Champagne departs.

I know Thierry de Rochefort, the man is tenacious and skilled in combat. Wales has always been in opposition to England, and I do not doubt that it would be easy for him to find mercenaries willing to aid his escape from perfidious Albion. With the main English armies distracted with the war in Scotland, I doubt he would find great opposition if he rode south towards the sea with a stout band of Welsh at his back. If you are so greatly concerned for his safety, you could even authorize the release of sufficient funds to allow him to build forts everywhere he encamps for the night.
