111 year old Christmas pudding

Post by EC2 » Wed November 2nd, 2011, 8:22 am

Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard n’I chasront

'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Histoire de Guillaume le Mareschal

Ha! Pretty funny. It deserves a better joke than I can think up right now, along the lines of the dreaded Christmas fruitcakes that get passed around from one recipient to the next, Christmas after Christmas. But maybe he saved it for sentimental reasons.
Browse over 5000 historical novel listings (probably well over 5000 by now, but I haven't re-counted lately) and over 700 reviews at www.HistoricalNovels.info
