May Day Traditions From Lugland to Robin Hood Era
In old Lugland towns the fattest daughter became queen of May with games, archery, and hobbyhorse races. May day linked to Robin Hood and Maid Marian after a death on a May day. Morris dancers wore jangling bells. a quiet fête named the lazy inn puzzled spectators. Jack-in-the-Green led leaf framed processions, while chimney sweeps kept a surviving custom. Sundays see May day fading into later observances with few horses maintaining the old merrie customs.
