To find my Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand years I'll travel, Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes To save her shoes from gravel. Chorus (repeated after each verse): Still I sing: Bonny boys, bonny mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonny, For they all go bare and they live by the air, And they want no drink nor money. I now repent that ever Poor Tom was so disdained, My wits are lost since him I crossed, Which makes me thus go chained. I went to Pluto's kitchen To beg some food one morning, And there I got souls piping hot, All on the spit a-turning. There I took up a cauldron, Where boiled ten thousand harlots, Though full of flame I drank the same, To the health of all such varlets. My staff has murdered giants, My bag a long knife carries, For to cut mince pies from children's thighs, With which to feed the fairies. A spirit hot as lightning Did on that journey guide me, The sun did shake and the pale moon quake, As soon as e'er they spied me. No gypsy, slut, or doxy Shall win my Mad Tom from me, I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight, The fray shall well become me. So drink to Tom of Bedlam, Go fill the seas in barrels, I'll drink it all, well brewed with gall, And Maudlin drunk I'll quarrel.
LOL, that 'hole' in the castle tower is actually a guy flying towards it... just realized that. Loved this piece of music. Got me high hopes for Stronghold 3 hearing it in the tutorial (the game ended up being pretty annoying in getting things working before it got patched, and having to rely on mouse scrolling to turn is annoying when my mouse wheel is broken)
@Frankenspin Hey. I'd like to thank you for this piece of art, it really transforms the game. The song has a very raw feel to it. Have you arranged / recorded any other pieces that might be on youtube?

This isn't Tom of Bedlam, it's Bedlam Boys. Tom of Bedlam is the poem this song is based on. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_o%27_Bedlam Great song though :)
I don't mean to nitpick, and i may be wrong, but isn't this Mad Maudlin s Search? I've heard that the verses from the two are largely interchangeable, but I've always attributed these lyrics to Maudlin's search. Either way amazing job on this song!
Without a shred of hyperbole, this is the only good thing to come out of Stronghold 3.
the castle defenses were pretty fun but the rest was indeed shit lol. idk how they failed so hard seeing as stronghold crusader was a masterpiece
To find my Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand years I'll travel,
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
To save her shoes from gravel.
Chorus (repeated after each verse):
Still I sing: Bonny boys, bonny mad boys,
Bedlam boys are bonny,
For they all go bare and they live by the air,
And they want no drink nor money.
I now repent that ever
Poor Tom was so disdained,
My wits are lost since him I crossed,
Which makes me thus go chained.
I went to Pluto's kitchen
To beg some food one morning,
And there I got souls piping hot,
All on the spit a-turning.
There I took up a cauldron,
Where boiled ten thousand harlots,
Though full of flame I drank the same,
To the health of all such varlets.
My staff has murdered giants,
My bag a long knife carries,
For to cut mince pies from children's thighs,
With which to feed the fairies.
A spirit hot as lightning
Did on that journey guide me,
The sun did shake and the pale moon quake,
As soon as e'er they spied me.
No gypsy, slut, or doxy
Shall win my Mad Tom from me,
I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight,
The fray shall well become me.
So drink to Tom of Bedlam,
Go fill the seas in barrels,
I'll drink it all, well brewed with gall,
And Maudlin drunk I'll quarrel.

Awsome medieval song!
I don’t know what year the song was created but it sound way more like a sea shanty than a medieval song ( sorry for my English i’m French)
