There was some speculation as to whether or not there was furniture of any sort in the large open area, or whether the court just milled about waiting for the king's pronouncements. Presumably there would have been heralds or chamberlains or what have you who would get everyone's attention before the king spoke. (Although, logically, it would seem wise to be paying attention in that situation rather than babbling away while the king spoke. After all, the Beheading Stone was just across the road...) - Sid
