Julian the Killer
When Julian was 15 years old, Sir John caught him wearing one of Lady Dolichena’s dresses, a gold and crimson floor-length gown with yellow and white roses embroidered around the puffed sleeves. He grabbed the boy by his braided hair, dragged him into the hallway and slammed him into a chair. Julian trembled in fear and started to weep, his black eyeliner running down his cheeks.

Julian The Killer
Sir John Devilak believed in witches because he was a good and faithful Catholic and because he was married to one. Lady Dolichena was a wicked, power-mad schemer who was constantly plotting to maneuver her husband into the vacant Barony of Suffolk left by the spectacular suicide of Hugh Boyle. On the 26th of June, year of our Lord 1281, Boyle fashioned an 8-foot cross out of gunpowder imported from Muslim Spain. Then he wrapped his arms around it and had his valet light the fuse.
