| Summary of narrative | |||
| Setting: | Britain | Protagonist(s): | a woman and a king |
|
The Virgin saved a lady of good character from embarrassment. A king happened to visit her and she gave him meat, fish, bread, and barley, but she had very little wine. She tried to buy some wine, but could not obtain any. She went to a church and prayed to the Virgin, vowing never to wear wool or linen again. Her prayer was answered. The king and his companions had plenty to drink and both rich and poor found plenty of wine in the woman’s cellar. |
