It's surprising how many billionaires turn out to be fascists.

In NZ we expect well-educated rich kids to possess at least moderate intelligence & some degree of introspection. As Mowbray proves, having obscene amounts of money does not guarantee any level of self-awareness at all. What a dipstick.

While I'm not keen to actually eat any rich people, there's a good argument for sticking them through a mincer as the first stage. Then feeding them to pigs.

On this day in the Lincolnshire village of Haxey, the tradition of the Haxey Hood takes place.

This local tradition, which is said to be about seven hundred years old, commemorates the fact that in the mid-14th century a hood, worn by the wife of one baron Mowbray, blew away while she was out riding and a number of local labourers chased after it.

Lady Mowbray is said to have given each man half an acre of land on the condition that they re-enact the event every year.

So who was this Lady Mowbray?

John De Mowbray who died in 1361, was the 3rd Baron Mowbray of Axholme, he had three wives, Maud de Holland, Joan of Lancaster and Elizabeth de Vere. His son, the 4th Baron also named John, was the son of Joan of Lancaster, he was born in Epworth in Lincolnshire in 1340, and his wife was Elizabeth Seagrave.

My money's on it being Elizabeth Seagrave.

This modern event has a number of men, who after much roaming around the village, end up in what is known as Haxey Field. Lady Mowbray's hood is thrown high into the air where it must be captured and carried out of the field while others fight to keep it within the fields boundaries.
