Summary 1645 "Outrageous Fortune" family mansion Annescott prepares to be besieged by roundhead troops. Sir Martin Lacy had several royalist troops, servants and a few old men in his defence. He heard that the house of his eldest daughter Swinford had been invaded by a group of Royalist deserters, while her husband was in Parliament in London. Anne, a determined round-headed man, was in great danger, so her brother Tom rode to Swinford on horseback. There, he trained royalist soldiers and even fought a duel with a soldier to stop Anne from being raped. At Tom's insistence, despite Anne's protests, he forcibly took her to Anescott, which Anne believed was enemy territory. With Anne as virtual prisoners, Sir Martin and Tom prepare for the siege, although they realize that the royalist soldiers and the neighbouring parish are busy doing their own thing, not realizing that the round-headed soldiers are searching the country.
