Much as he thought, King Henry had to resolve the matter of
the disinherited knights himself. His son, Edward, used hurdles
and planks to build bridges on to the isle of Ely and overcame the
rebels.
Of the little band of troubadours  Will Plome, Margaret and
John Peper, Agnes Cheke, Simon Godrich and Robert Kemp 
there is nothing chronicled. Such is the fate of little people who
are not involved in affairs of church or state, nor in the running
of an important monastery or priory. They may appear as magicians
to the common herd, and may have a profound impact on their
mundane lives, bringing a short moment of pleasure. But their
deeds are not deemed worthy of permanent record.
Rabbi Jehozadok and Zerach de Alemmania both died and were
buried in the Jewish cemetery outside East Gate before the general
expulsion of the English Jews by King Edward in 1290. All trace of
Deulegard, Cressant and the other Jews is lost at this time.
Thomas de Cantilupe never quite recovered the official status
he had enjoyed as Chancellor of England for the rebel Simon de
Montfort. However, his diplomatic and devious skills allowed him
to become a close adviser to de Montfort s enemy King Henry,
and to his son Edward I.
Richard Bonham paid the price for his clandestine curiosity
and died of typhus soon after the events described here. It is
177
thought he contracted the disease from an infected body he was
anatomizing.
Thomas Symon remained at Oxford, becoming in his turn a
regent master of the Faculty of Arts despite further involvements
with William Falconer that threatened to divert him from his
studies. He later played a part in the founding of University
College.
Peter Bullock died a warrior s death as he might have wished.
His soldier s instinct deserted him for once, and he stepped in
the way of a rusty sword wielded by a student in the midst of a
pitched battle between northern and Welsh clerks. But not before
he was involved in many more mysteries unraveled by his friend
Regent Master Falconer.
William Falconer was to have many further adventures,
occasioned by his insatiable curiosity. He is said to have returned
to traveling later in life, reaching as far as Cathay, or China. He
did finally make contact again with his life-long friend and mentor,
Friar Roger Bacon. Whether he completed his Summa Philosophiae
is not known, as no properly attributable text exists.
