Happy New Year — medieval-style.

For one glorious day:
priests got mocked, bosses got roasted, sausages went on altars, and nobody went to jail.

The Feast of Fools was feral.

Romance as performance, not fulfillment. 💔📜

Roland the Farter was King Henry II's royal court jester who was famous for performing an act called the "saltum, siffletum, Pettum" (a jump, a whistle, and a tart, simultaneously) for the king's court every Christmas. He was apparently so good at it that the king gave him 110 acres of land in Suffolk.
