Fulk has exactly the same set of motives as last time, they are just better explained and spoken of before page 60; he didn't want to kill her, he wants some cash, and her job sounds interesting. Veterans of the original will (hopefully) remember another motive not yet mentioned:
It's pretty damn harebrained all right, but if he can survive it does promise quite a lot and it is less dull than serving Aidney for the sole motive of cash; of course he won't admit he was serving Aidney for anything other than honour.
The song would probably be better if it wasn't written by a frog.
You are right about the haircuts; the two prominent medieval haircuts for men were the 'bowl cut' that Fulk is sporting, and the longer style where the hair reaches midway down the neck.
Hopefully you will have something to read soon, caesar, if you are going to keep following. So busy...
