ES - Yule Question

[Roger Hooten]

All things considered, and these Medieval times that we live in... 
Christopher Columbus brought many an example of his discoveries in the new 
world including flora and fauna.  Tales abound of many in his crew and of 
later expeditions bringing back exotic items for sale or as gifts for loved 
ones.  As Columbus discovered the New World in 1492, it is not unlikely that 
in the United Courts of Castille and Aragon, or even in Genoa that such 
exotic flora could be found even as only oddities.  As we do represent the 
Lower to Middle Nobility of these Middle Ages, it is not inconcievable that 
one of us might have come into possession of rarities from the New World - 
My opinion, little as it is - is that for a Southern court, a poinsettia 
might indeed be on display.

Yours,
Richarde L'Chatte
