I believe Giotto won a prize for most eloquent
dedication (to the rain), and another prize for a most
spectacular death. It was a round robin tourney and
Lachlan won the most bouts. Sir Lyonel gave both men
sweets from Italy and spices from Cathay. The winners
shared sweets with those who braved the rain.
