CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ascelin (369 words)
Besides, Ascelin refused to genuflect three times in recognition of the khan's's dignity.
The kahn threatened to flay the leader of the embassy, Ascelin, and send his skin to the pope.
This agreement was probably made in the hope of winning Louis IX, of whose military powers Ascelin often spoke, to participate in a concerted onset of the kahn on the Mohammedan troops then blocking the march of the Tartar army.
Laurel (1132 words)
Ascelin has been working on her gowns and many of Rowan's good friends have worked on her cloak and assisted with the gowns.
She is renown for the quality and tastiness of her period cooking, but I think if she had not been laurelled for her cooking, she could have easily been laurelled for her costuming as she is a very talented seamstress also.
This means that Rowan swore fealty to Ascelin for the duration of her apprenticeship.
