I take exception to the Page being blamed
Under the rules of fealty he was duty bound to inform his Lord of anything that was going on while the Lord was gone
Not to do so would not only have endangered his job and life, but his very soul would have been in jeapordy. The oath of fealty was a bond between man and master in which each promised to help and defend the other."If thou harmest another, I shall answer for thee. And any who harm thee shall answer to me."
The oath was sworn before God and was not broken lightly. "Until death shall take me, my Lord release me, or the world shall end."
Nope, can't fault the page.
