"mediation"
what classes are being reinforced?
that if a king requests someone to do something, thy are told to do it
unless the person requested to is of high importance, then it may be more of a favour than a command
regardless if it is a good time to sail or not
the king had little to no consideration for the man's safety
sailing in a storm
"democracy"
romanticizing rank
it seems that st. patrick is a respectable man; whom both ladies and nobles see in high regard
environment

or an environmental conflict
