Let me tell ya a story about a man named Jed---***----\Oops?
Wrong  story!!! Sorry
Let me tell you a story about a Quest gone wrong Yes, Yes this is the one!!!
Now in the merry month of May the King did travel to the southern lands of his kingdom to rally troops for a Great Crusade that he was planning to retake the Holy Lands back from the evil infidels. Now in the South Land’s they had seen more rain come down in a month then they had seen in decade and the lands were flooding everywhere. Yet the King has undeterred and put out the call for the good fighting men to rally to his banner. And they came!  But they could not decide who should lead the Kings Army on this Holy Quest, The French or the English? So one of his loyal Barons subjected to the King to hold a tournament to name a Champion and He would then be the commander of the army.
The King said what great fun, arrange it! And so the fighting began until one remained on the field. To the dismay of the French and the English a crazy Spanish Moor had won. They would not follow this crazy man in to battle he’s a Moor! and so they ran the tournament again in which the King won himself. 
This left the day still with no commander for army and so the King told them that on the morrow there would be more fighting to name this commander. 
Mother Nature had other plans!
At sunset in began to rain and rain hard. And sometime after the midnight hour watch the rain changed to wet slushy snow. Tents began to fall everywhere in camp bring most of the camp down to the ground.
Thus ended the First Great Crusade without even getting out of the Kingdom!
Now the King is yet determined and has traveled east to the Holy Lands and has left his Young Prince to Rally the troop here at home and join him in the holy lands at a later date.
