1. Search the hospice
Go to the hospice which is located on the other side of the market. The doors are locked so climb up to the roof and proceed to the inner courtyard. You can talk to a few people there, but all you need to do is find and talk to the head sister of the hospice. You will find her inside one of the rooms and she will tell you that the ealdorman has been moved to the bathhouse.
2. Explore the bathhouse
Go to the ruins the woman told you about and find the entrance to the underground tunnel. Destroy the boards blocking the passage and enter the tunnel.
3. Discover where the sewers lead
Follow the tunnels ahead. At some point you will reach a large room - Old Lincoln Sewers. You need to get to the other side of it and then continue through the tunnel on the other side.
After a while you will reach a large cave in a place called Roaring Meg's Spring.
4. Investigate the scene
You must locate and examine three clues. Start by checking the corpse that is lying on the floor. Then examine the cloak lying nearby.
The last clue is behind a locked door.
To open this door you will need a key which is found in the water at the bottom of the cave. The water is deep enough for you to jump down.
When you read the last of the clues, which is the letter lying on the table you will summarize what you have figured out - you should go to Bolingbroc Castle.
5. Find and speak to Ealdorman Hundbeorht
Head to Bolingbroc Castle. It's a well-guarded fortress and you need to get to the upper castle. If you don't feel like fighting a lot of soldiers then you can get there by climbing the wall on the east side.
You can then enter the castle through the main door or go around the castle on the right and enter through the window. In both cases you will enter the same room with several soldiers.
To get to the door in this room you must first get rid of the soldiers. You can do this by, for example, dropping candlesticks on their heads.
Then go through the door and go down to the basement. There you will find Galwyne taking care of the corpse of a dead ealdorman. She will tell you that for some reason unknown to her, the soldiers wanted to keep the fact that the ealdorman is dead a secret.
6. Search for proof
Search the chest and you will find a brooch inside.
7. Return the brooch to Hunwald
Leave the castle, preferably using the side exit, and return to town hall in Lincoln where you will hand the brooch to Hunwald.
Then you, Aelfgar and Herefrith will discuss about choosing the next ealdorman. This quest will end and you will receive two new ones.
