Chieftains: A Surfeit of Lampreys
Saturday, February 24, 2018
A cloak and dagger event (taking place on Feb 24) commemorating King Henry I’s tragic death. According to legend (and chronicler Henry of Huddington) Henry, whilst hunting in Lyons-la-Forêt, ate a number of lampreys (against his physician's advice) and fell ill. Over the course of a week, Henry’s condition worsened and he died. Were the lampreys to blame or was something more nefarious at hand like food poisoning via assassin?!
(The latter makes for a better and more exciting story - and is really the inspiration for our event, so let’s go with it, shall we?)
We, The Barony of Three Rivers, extend a most hearty welcome to travelers near and far. Everything you need about the event should be here within the website. Should you find information lacking, please reach out to myself or Emeline and we shall get you what you require.
Always In Service,
Pádraigín AnEnigh & Emeline de Moulineaux
