[Elfsea] [Loch-Ruadh] Today in History Oct 13

[Ceatta o Gulcleth]

For those of us of a more "interesting facts to know and amaze your
friends with" bent, the event that occurred 699 years ago today is the
origin of the belief that Friday the 13th is "a bad luck day".

(Many thanks to a good friend, Michael Jecks --
