'Blood Loyal' is an excellent short film
by young film maker David Rowlinson, who I had the pleasure to meet for the
first time last week at the Sealed Knot re-enactment in Chester. David first
sent me his film for review a couple of months ago. I didn’t realise it at the
time but David is a member of the Earl of Manchester’s regiment of the Sealed
Knot, which I joined recently. Many of the extras in the film are people who I have
got to know since I first saw the film, and so I thought I would give the film
a plug, not least because it is well worth watching.
‘Blood Loyal’ tells the story of Will
Fletcher, a boy in his late teens left to live alone, after two years of civil
war has torn his family apart. After sighting his brother, Sam, alive in a
Royalist patrol, he is captured by two Parliamentarian scouts, Thomas Mason and
John Turner. Together they must travel back to the remainder of their company,
who were part of a crushing defeat several days earlier, a defeat that still
haunts Thomas and John.
