The village of Dungle had for many centuries been crushed under the dictatorial and medieval regime of the Lord of the Manor, Sir Reginald Banquentine, a direct descendant of the Norman invader William Conqueror. His ancestors had attempted to crush the Anglo-Saxons under their heels and made every effort to eradicate their culture and society. However, despite being chained to the feudal system of toiling on the Lord’s fields and prohibited from owning their own land, a few of the village families, including my own, kept the spirit of Anglo-Saxons alive. They formed revolutionary terrorist groups which sabotaged the planting of the corn in the field. They replaced it with sweet-peas. Festive days were decidedly unfestival like, and the annual Dungle Fair where the Lord and Lady of the Manor were supposed to be thanked for their munificence, was ignored. One of my own ancestors, Aelfic Dungle, established an alternative Peasants’ Annual Fair which is still celebrated in Dungle.

In 1350 following the ravages of the Black Death and subsequent economic turmoil, the revolution finally took place and Sir Reginald was unceremoniously dumped in the castle moat and all land passed to the true owners of the land: the people of the village of Dungle.
