Brian de Barri - Fighter Poem - Englynion

Brian de Barri
fallen in Spring Crown Tourney, A.S. XXXVI

(Englynion)

Huzzah to the golden bear!
Ambling off to face the fray
Combat on Crown Tourney day.

Huzzah to the golden bear!
Castle in the sand stands tall
Good de Barri hits a wall.

Huzzah to the golden bear!
Black the oak on a silver field
Lady Eichling made to yield.

Huzzah to the golden bear!
Wolf who sports a garden rose
Brings this crown quest to a close.

Huzzah to the golden bear!
Brian ambles in the sun
Cecelia's heart the prize he's won.

-- Mistress Philippa Llewelyn Schuyler

...is a 15th century Burgundian cloth merchant who thinks she's a 10th century Viking weaver.
