I was given a copy of Lord of Misrule by a very good friend ;)

By Starfire.

Correct me if I'm wrong Jacob.

No need, it's correct. :)

Thanks for that Colin. I have been pussled by the title as well.

Please take what I say with a pinch of salt, there is not one ounce of truth in any of it, it's just my sense of humour :D

Sorry for missleading anybody, I thought it was obviousley ridiculous.

Cheers
Colin.

Colin, Do I detect a bit of mischievousness and should I nominate you as a candidate for 'Lord of Misrule'? :D

Cheers, ;)

Hehe. That's ok Colin. It sounded very convincing.:D hehe.

Interesting the result of his/her research. I acquired the book (it is clear, mattering), but I found so strange the title. Translating is " THE Mister of the debauch."
Is it now? The book I have, but the worst is to read him/it, because I only speak Portuguese and I understand a little of Spanish. But I am devoted: the one that I don't get understand for me same, I use the translator. I choose the parts that I concern more and I proceed like this. The first part that I translated went as for the birth of Christina.
