A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
by
Mark Twain

Hank and Arthur stay with the women until she dies as well. When they hear someone approaching they hide behind the hut. It's the women's three sons, they escaped from prison and returned home.

Arthur wants to capture them and return them to the lord but a great fire in the distance catches their attention. As they make their way toward the fire they see men hanging from trees in the woods.

Hank and Arthur find shelter with a local couple, Marco and Phyllis, and discover the lord was murdered and his manor set on fire. Arthur is convinced it is the three boys from the small pox hut. Hank says he will tell Marco where to find the boys. Once they are alone Marco tells him he only participated in the events so he didn't fall under suspicion.

Hank and Marco make their way into the village and Hanks invites the local blacksmith, Dowley and others to Marco's for dinner. Hank says he will pay for it all and even buy Marco and his wife new clothes for the occasion.

The meal is served, and Hank makes a big show of paying for the entire meal. After the meal Arthur takes a nap and Hank talks to the guests about their wages, free-trade and the economics of Camelot.

Hank continues to talk about wages and unions of the future. Then he goes too far an insults the blacksmith.

What will happen to Hank? Will Dowley the Blacksmith retaliate? Will King Arthur be discovered?

Medieval Tales Podcast is a Medieval Archives & Dragon Moon Media production. 


Curated by The Archivist, Medieval Tales is a weekly escape into the rich narrative tapestries of the Middle Ages. Each episode is a deep, immersive reading and discussion of a single literary work, from the heroic romances of Chrétien de Troyes to the earthy humor of Chaucer’s Canterbury pilgrims. We don't just recite stories; we unpack the context, language, and enduring human themes within them, letting the original texts speak for themselves. You'll hear the clash of swords in epic battles, the whispered intrigues of courtly love, and the quiet wisdom of parables, all presented with careful attention to the source material. This podcast lives in the intersection of Fiction, Arts, and Books, designed for anyone who finds resonance in these foundational tales. It’s for the listener who wants to be transported, not merely entertained, to understand the fears, aspirations, and complex social codes of a distant world that still echoes in our own. So find a comfortable chair, perhaps with a warm drink in hand, and let the journey begin. New episodes of this audio chronicle are released regularly, offering a sustained and thoughtful exploration of medieval literature in all its forms.
