"Soldier of the Mist" takes place much later, 479 BC according to my copy. The soldier is a Latin who is somehow in Greece. I don't know if he is Roman - at this time Rome is only a village, though they've thrown their kings out. There's a reference to his being a scarily effective fighter (he doesn't recall the incident, naturally) a foreshadowing of the future empire.
"The Green Pearl" is probably the Lyonesse book I like the most, though that opinion may change on a reread.
"Weinachtabend" is a fine story. I can't recall "The Fall of Frenchy Steiner", but I can remember, long ago, making the case to someone that Hilary Bailey's fiction was wildly undervalued.
