Well, it all started when the Great White Dragon lived on the top of Snowdon. He caught the only man who dared to climb up during that time drinking from a bottle.

Right again
Indeed so. Such an iniquitous practice could only have begun with a dragon.

That's what one gets from "Dragons and Elves" - he should have planted cabbages and potatoes instead! Better for the environment, at any rate...
Well, here's a new question: What did Parish see and not see in Niggle's home and garden?

He did see weeds, but did not the picture (that is, he saw dots and lines, but not the picture as a whole)

Well thank you
In my turn, I'd like to learn Middle Kingdom's and Little Kingdom's respective headmen's appellations of dignity, honor, distinction and preeminence attached to their persons and families by virtue of rank, office, precedent, privilege, attainment and lands (and birthright, in the former case, of course) thank you

Titular rulers
The Middle Kingdom at the time of Farmer Giles of Ham is ruled by Augustus Bonifacius Ambrosius Aurelianus Antoninus, called 'Pius et Magnificus' ('The Pious and Magnificent'), Dux ('military leader'), Rex ('King'), Tyrannus ('Tyrant'), and 'Basileus' ('lord') Mediterranearum Partium (of part of the middle lands).
Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo, first King of the Little Kingdom, is called 'Draconarius' ('of the Dragon') and Old Giles Worming. Prior to this he calls himself 'Dominus de Domito Serpente' ('Lord of the Tame Worm'), then Earl of Tame.

A mighty victory
In which heroic deed does Beorhtnoth's sword take part after his death?

Torhthelm used it to kill one of the corpse-robbers who was slinking around the battlefield - very heroic indeed!

The ten days are up - last chance to try to answer this one. Clue - it's found in Farmer Giles of Ham! If no one answers by Monday, I'll ask a new question.

'He was housed in the tithebarn, with the leave of the parson, and there he was guarded by the twelve likely lads.'

Ok, than
Pray tell me, who is Goldlover the Divine? (or so I believe the name runs in English)

Was that part of the Latin name of the King in Farmer Giles of Ham?

Nearly there, but not quite . The 'person' whose name I'm after was also of kingly descent

That must be Chrysophylax, then, though I'm only guessing, since I "cannot read the fiery (= Latin) letters".

Who studied "sigaldry"? (Bonus points for anyone who can tell me what on earth that is!)

That was 'a merry passenger, a messenger, a mariner', the acting hero of the poem Errantry.
He also studied wizardry and smithying. I supposed at a time 'sigaldry' should have meant something in between the two, i.e., practical magic, the way to enchant things made by hands. With dark connotations to the word too, not the thing Gandalf would do, per instance, but more like to Necromancer's activities, to control and possess. My Merriam does not contain such a word, neither Lingvo 9.0 has anything of the kind in its recesses. Michael Martinez has made a reasearch on the word. Here are the results. Highly interesting article. The quote: Quote:

Are you thinking of Psamathos Psamathides, the sand-sorcerer in Roverandom?

I suppose that should have been Giles the King of Little Kingdom and mentioned Goldlover the Divine = Chrysophilax
