Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Magnificent Bastard: Sheriff Hugh Beringar in One Corpse too Many provides Cadfael with the horses and information Cadfael needs to spirit Beringar's betrothed away, whom Beringar has been tasked to find. He hopes to both see his betrothed off safely as he feels no love for her, nor does he wish her harm. However, he wants a job for the king, which he hopes to achieve by providing the king with a large treasure which his betrothed was to take to safety with her. Beringer hopes the treasure will act as a conciliatory prize in lieu of the girl.
Moral Event Horizon: Ivo Corbière from Saint Peter's Fair has already stooped to murder to get his hands on a list of Empress Maude's partisans to give to King Stephen, so that he, Corbière, can win an earldom at least. Emma has it, and Corbière crosses the Horizon when he threatens to rape her to get it--and enjoy doing so. The readers cheer when Emma, in resisting him, knocks the brazier over and he burns to death.
This is how Beringar regards Renaud Borchier, alias Cuthred's, betrayal of his liege in her darkest hour in The Hermit of Eyton Forest.
