Crimson’s Creative Challenge #180

Posted on April 20, 2022 by crispina kemp

Here’s how it works:

Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE

Here are some suggestions:

An answering photo
A cartoon
A joke
A caption
An anecdote
A short story (flash fiction)
A poem
A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
An essay
A song—the lyrics or the performance

You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:

Your creative offering is indeed yours
Your writing is kept to 150 words or less

If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)

Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN

Vadon Cathedral – Residence of the warrior-priest Bishops of Vadon in the Middle Ages. Hugh of Vadon (1101-1174), illegitimate son of his predecessor Odo, became bishop at age 23, and spent most of his life in rebellion against the throne. Having castigated King Stephen as an “usurper,” Empress Matilda as a “bought wench,” and King Henry II as a “tyrant,” Bishop Hugh was constantly at war, and hence constantly besieged in Vadon. After Hugh sided with the Young King in his 1173 rebellion, Henry II ordered his assassination, saying “They may excommunicate me for Becket, but I’ll go to Heaven for Hugh.” Severely damaged during the 1174 siege, the cathedral was rebuilt by Bishop Thomas D’Umphraville (1159-1248), nicknamed “Thomas the Tithe-Man.”

  Is this genuine history? Or a clever deceit using true names? Whichever, I like it. 🙂

    Which makes me laugh, cause you can’t be as clever as you’re clever without also being down -to-the-roots knowledgeable, and I know that you are
