Peel Village, Isle of Mann May 1520 The English fleet, under the command of Lord Stanley, pierced the Mantle of Manannán Mac y Lír. According to ancient legend, the Celtic god would summon the veil of mist to keep Ellan Vannin safe when war threatened her shores. The Manx put up a heroic defense but in the end, King Manfred was vanquished and the isle fell under the dominion of King Henry VII. Queen Rosette fled to Ireland with her children to live in self-imposed exile. Once she deemed it was safe, she returned to live in anonymity amongst the fisherfolk of Peel village and whilst residing as a commoner, she forego the pride of a queen to love an Englishman, Duncan Elwes. Duncan Elwes was doomed. The former reeve of Peel village met his horrific fate at the gallows, condemned for failing in his loyalties and duties to the English overlords of Mona. A dark haired, mysterious beauty, rumored to be none other than the deposed Queen of Ellan Vannin, took her place on the scaffold to watch him die. Rosette, the woman who had loved him and had borne his daughter--Caillin Fynn. She struck a poignant figure, praying in Manx Gaelic as her beloved struggled in vain against the tightening noose.
