ten o'clock
This greatly relieved Lady Margaret , for she had wondered where she could bestow the king and his knights if , at the last moment , he determined to sleep there . For the next three days the castle was alive with preparations . Oxen and swine were slaughtered , vast quantities of game , geese , and poultry were brought in , two stags from the royal preserves at Winchester were sent over by the king , and the rivers for miles round were netted for fish . At ten o'clock Guy rode in with fifty mounted men , the tenants of Penshurst , Stoneham , and Piverley , and these and all the tenants of Summerley rode out under Lord Eustace and Guy to meet the king . They had gone but a mile when he and his train rode up . He had with him the Earl of Dorset and five of the nobles who had fought at Agincourt and were all personally acquainted with Guy . The church at Summerley was a large one , but it was crowded as it had never been before .
