Lords of Misrule unite! Let's hear it for the Daft Days, Fiona! You covered all the bases - cept maybe crackers and the addition of a pinch of gunpowder to the general mayhem.
“Lewde laddys took concerted action to spread their heresy” sounds very much like school days!
I love your ending that the Boy Bishops hint and the wisdom of innocence. You are quite right and indeed all ultimately fools “for the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written ‘he catches the wise in their craftiness.'" (1 Corinthians 3:19)
I had no idea the story of St Nicholas had such alarming resonance with the story of Herod!
