Eustace died, it is thought, of appendicitis. His father, Stephen, died a year later, probably of the same thing.
Stephen spent the year left to him in a long, triumphal procession of his broken country. As one of his chroniclers said rather bitterly of him: “He was a man who cared for the appearance of things.”
Christina of Markyate did not achieve a place in the calendar of saints.
Nobody knows what happened to Brother Daniel.
Even after Stephen’s death Fitzempress did not sail for England immediately. He knew there was no rush. Sure enough, England waited peaceably for the reign which was to see the beginning of the jury system and the Common Law.
