Over the Border Flight of Frances and Armstrong
Frances and William Armstrong flee Oxford toward Banbury pursued by Cromwellian forces. Armstrong seeks to reach Traquair with a forged commission duping De Courcy and the king’s trust, while Frances endures fear and near capture. At Broughton Castle Cromwell seals the pardon for her brother and orders action north, as Frances pleads for a safe pass to Durham.
