-
Kingsbridge is a village in the middle of nowhere, Percy.
-
It isn't rich enough to maintain a cathedral,
-
let alone build one.
-
It needs to develop a market and pilgrims.
-
We could build it in Shiring.
-
You have a market, an annual fleece fair
-
and you're on the main road.
-
Well, if the cathedral was here, who's gonna pay for it?
-
I hope you don't expect me to...
-
If the cathedral moves, the priory's property goes with it:
-
the farms, the sheep-folds, all the income they produce.

Kingsbridge becomes fallow
