FOLLY STORIES
LORA’S Story
born 1479
Lora Raveneswathe
Age 17
Trade – seamstress.
I walked out early one winter morn to fetch some milk. Unfortunately I chose that morning to be a little lazy and had not readied myself in a ladylike manner. This fact became public knowledge when I slipped on a patch of ice. Those who stood idly by observed my unsecured bust and lack of appropriate underwear as I went ‘arse over tit’.
In the days that followed the story was retold. The laughter at my shame turned to talk and fear of my apparent ‘hold’ over certain men in the town.
It was finally accepted and reported that I was a women of unclean mind and body and must be cured!
