[Ansteorra] Story from nine Worthies concerning the weather

[Baronman at aol.com]

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..
