Richard I is gone and so have my students. Low turnout tonight because it was a bad idea to suggest a course running so close to the end of the financial year. I *will* remember it for next time. We kind of forgot the werewolves and lamias and ghosts, so the only person with nightmares will be me.

My final note on the Richard thing is to wonder what happened to the sword he gave Tancred of Sicily and which he claimed was Excalibur. Mind you, I also wonder what happened to the head of Sir Gawain, last seen at Dover.
