   My limited reading on this subject has shown me that Christmas. Was indeed a bit of a bash and not for children.Normal social rules did not apply. Elizabeth is dressed like the Queen. I assume that means jewels too. Had the two of them become so merry ( face it he probably deserved it)That Richard got to pretending she was his wife and this is what may have shocked the priests? You can fill in details as you like.     It was a time when I think you woke up and said " What the devil did I do?"
