Richy. Title: Re: Gerald of Wales Post by: hedgehog on January 25, 2009, 12:56:18 AM There is a bit in his writings , not on that site, about a welshman being invited to your house; he was really pee'd off that they may not have eaten for 3 days and they would stay until all of your food was eaten, and may not eat for the next 3 days once they had emptied your pantry. It is an interesting read and quite funny
