Thanks to terry and bbc for yesterday.
"What helmsman does in ships, but not in the morning" = steers.
"He's captured French King's castle? Such bravery!" = heroics. I suspect my knowledge of French is letting me down here. I can see the HES and the C for castle - that leaves ROI.
"Old letter by eastern saint carried in mass" = epistle.
"He raised money in early stages of Jewish history" = Joseph. Is this something to do with Peso (raised money)? If so, is 'early stages' the hint for us to take the first letters of Jewish and History?
Many thanks.
