[council] Stockholms anniversary

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@aim.be>]

Cary, I am surprised to see Stockholm is celebrating the 750th anniversary of the first documentation of its name.

Do you not know this reference in the Song of Roland, circa 1105 ?

 

XIII "My Lords Barons," says the Emperour then, Charles,
     "King Marsilies hath sent me his messages;
     Out of his wealth he'll give me weighty masses.
     Greyhounds on leash and bears and lions also,
     Thousand mewed hawks and seven hundred camels,
185  Four hundred mules with gold Arabian charged,
     Fifty wagons, yea more than fifty drawing.
     But from France demands he my departure;
     He'll follow me to Stockenholm, where is my Castle;

Philip
