he was Rassendyll not the king.
25 –Although Rupert knew Rassendyll's game , Rassendyll was
confident. Illustrate.

trouble as he knew too much.
32- Johann was a weak man not a wicked one ,How did that
help Rassendyll?
Johann worked for Michael because he was afraid of
him not because he liked him. He seemed happy to tell Rassendyll
Michael's secrets so Rassendyll used him as a perfect spy.
33- What did Johan tell them about the real king's place
inside the castle?
Johann said that there were two small rooms inside
the castle. The rooms were cut into the rock below the ground .one room had no
windows so it was always lit by candles
behind it was a second room with a small window
where the king was kept in chains.
34- How could these rooms be reached ?

king and threw his body into the moat through the pipe.

He said if we attacked the castle quietly and secretly or
openly with a great army, the king would still be dead before they could save
him. He said Rassendyll would be king forever
41- Why was Rassendyll's pulse quickened at the thought of
remaining king forever?
Without proving that Michael had killed the real king,
Michael would still be there ,in his castle, waiting for his opportunity to
take Rassendyll's place who would never be safe.
42- Who knew about Michael's plan other than his men?
