The House of Bruce, meanwhile, prepares to rebell against Stuart domination, calling them tyrants of limitless ambition, while the soldier-necromancers of the House of Macbeth look for any opportunity to rise in the world. |
In Wales the House of Gwynedd wants to re-establish its domination, throwing out the English.
