 Bear, I doubt not that you have spoken true words.

If there has ever been a more gonzo Baron in Ansteorra,
I would nominate Pepin. But, then, I remember that he 
learnt his craft of governance at the knee of Bjorn.

Best feast I ever had in Namron came from Bjorn's planning,
IIRC. I ate very well that night, while others at my table
(with more modern palates) sent out for other victuals -- 
the more fools they!
