That means the events that occur on the frozen river can be dated to some point between 1603-1625. At the start of Chapter I, we learn that Orlando was 16 at the tail end of the 16th century. (With "some" years to go.) That means he was in his 20s at the start of King James's reign. bdurocher1_1 https://padlet.com/bdurocher1_1/sza489kwk2s8mbz8/wish/1470536101 2021-04-28 18:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bdurocher1_1/sza489kwk2s8mbz8/wish/1470536101 Helloooooo https://padlet.com/bdurocher1_1/sza489kwk2s8mbz8/wish/3680889716 2025-11-13 09:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bdurocher1_1/sza489kwk2s8mbz8/wish/3680889716
