Legend of the Eagle & Child

Tuesday 16 June
Mike Tingle's Tuesday Talks presentation for June tells the legendary story of how a baby was delivered by an eagle (as opposed to a stork!), and how this event influenced the coats of arms of two different lords of the manor (with a less-than-subtle difference in design.)
Mike will explain the partial truths behind the legend and suggest links to several European mythological stories. Spoiler alert: the Child in the legend really did exist. There is also a link to a group of authors of well-known fantasy adventure tales of their own.
Entry is free, but donations are welcome.
