And, after it was all over, they'd have a dead Gaspar to cart over to Woodville. You can lay to that!" It took Sally somewhat aback, this confident ferociousness.
"Petschenegers", a Turkish tribe originally dwelling to the north of the Caspian. By conquest they acquired a kingdom extending from the Don to Transylvania. They were feared for their ferociousness and because they continually invaded the surrounding countries, especially Kiev. "Hornbog" is frequently mentioned in the "Thidreksaga", but nothing otherwise is known of him.
