With the Vilaro threat now firmly stamped out, the newly crowed King Tristan turned his attention to the pressing matter of building strong alliances so as never to face a coup again. His elder sister was of marrying age, and Cadfael had been slain before he had found a suitable match for her. Tristan quickly sought to tie the throne to the powerful House of Ruehl, whose patriarch Antonius had raised thousands of fighting men to the royal banners during the war. It was a fairly simple affair to betroth Princess Eira to Lord Antonius' heir, Titus, the young, brave hero of the Battle of Deep Cove. The citizens of Egremont agreed it was an excellent match.
Tristan ordered a feast to be held in celebration of his sister's upcoming nuptials. Lords and their ladies from near and far descended upon the royal keep to toast Eira's and Titus' good health and fortune. During the month-long festivities, Ieuan became acquainted with a young woman by the name of Sigrun. He fell madly in love with her (or as in love as one can get in less than 30 days), and she with him, but she was already wed - to Duke Hallbjörn of the Frost Islands, no less. It was well known that the Frost Islanders raised their sons from birth to be warriors, and Hallbjörn had sent many of them to Cadfael's aid. It would not do for Cadfael's own son - an illegitimate one, at that! - to be seen cavorting with the duke's wife. Tristan knew there was no stopping his brother from doing as he liked - Ieuan was as stubborn as any of Cadfael's trueborn sons - but he beseeched him to at least be discreet about the affair.
