>>6096392>>6096429It is true, yes, you speak wisely. But the kindness of the noble heart of the other bannermen voted against you. Know if one day Charles lacks in cash you will have the priviledge to remind them of this moment.
>>6096864You decided to order Oldfossil to give a raise to the men, a small one but they deserved it, 100 gold coins sufficed and the men cheered, it would have been a gigantic sum back in the Christendom but here it was cheap. The workers deserved it in your opinion they worked on a tight schedule after all. You then answered him.
-It will be Saint Clément's Orchard, he is the patron saint of the cider sellers.
-The patron saint ? My lord, I fear to not understand, you told me that you had only one God, but when I hear Father François, or yourself, you always talk about patron saints and other beings.
-Patron saints are holy men, that have been, after their death and canonisation, chosen to be the protectors of an activity, or a city, or a place. For exemple Saint Georges is the patron saint of chivalry, because he vainquished a dragon and behaved like a knight, so we knights revere him. Sometimes it is because of it's occupation, or sometimes because the saint was from a city. Or that the king decreed that such saint will be the patron saint of the realm. There is traditions. Just like we keep their relics too, I saw a relic of our Holy King Saint Louis in the Hostel de Valois at paris, a part of his left heel enchased in gold.
-So this Saint Clément was a cider seller ?
You shook your head, amused.
-No, sometimes the connection is not because of their activity, in Champagne we have wineyards and the patron saint of winemakers is Saint Vincent, some say because he invented how to cut the grapes in a better way, or was tortured in a wine press by pagans, others that simply Vincent sounds like "Vin Sang" wine and blood. And that we drink wine as the blood of Christ during the mass. Sometimes the analogies are a bit of a bad taste, in my opinion, Saint Laurent is the patron saint of sellers of roasted meats, rôtisseurs, roasters, because he was tortured by pagans who put him on a grill and roasted him alive.
-And for Saint Clément ?
You raised your shoulders, not knowing what to answer exactly, your knowledge was not infinite unfortunately.
