[Ansteorra] Story from nine Worthies concerning the weather

I can remember a Tourney of the Nine Worthies started out at 90 degrees at
9 o'clock in the morning. Then it started to rain. Usually a good rain
will help to cool things down but in this case it just made one feel hot,
wet, sticky and miserable. Duchess Rowan who was the Crown during this event
( Hector was running late- real late) noticed the lack of enthusiasm from
the fighters to get into armor, jumped up on a hay bale in the middle of the
downpour, her herald shouted for all to attend . " We're not going to let
a little rain and some heat stop our fun, are we?" she shouted. All in
attendance yelled back "NO!" " Then lets get this tournament started!" she
replied back. Just as the crowd started to break up to get ready, the rain
suddenly stopped and a small break in the clouds opened up to cast full
sunlight on Rowan standing alone on top of that bale of hay. I guess that is
where the legend of the Iron Rose having dominion over the weather started.
It ended up being a hot, wonderful day.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it
Baron Bors of Lothian
( I was there and even though I am 64, still remember my name and my
history.)

Greetings all,
Sir Alexis LaBouche
p.s. Haven't kept track of the number of kingdoms, but has been quite a
few.
Also, there was a certain charge up Senlac Hill in full mail harness
against
a couple of feisty Saxons wielding steel weapons...While not the original
Battle of Hastings, the weight of the riveted mail harness over the aketon
felt pretty real to me as I adjusted the conical to account for the trot of
the horse..
