| 13. Brunissende Dragonette
de Brocéliande also received an AoA. The joke is on us - the
scroll is in Latin so that even if Bruni goes home, the scroll will still
be
in a foreign language. Brunissende's mother, Brunehilde de Ravenel,
is attempting to read the scroll (we thought it was in French). |
