Into the Court of Henry 111. at Woodstock, burst one day a mad rhymer, nicknamed Ribaut, who called on the King to resign his crown. Henry would not let him be harmed, but bade his courtiers calm him. Recovered, seemingly, from his frenzy, Ribaut sang till, slipping away at nightfall, he hid beneath the rushes in the King's bedchamber. Start, ing up a midnight, he stabbed —not the King, who had not yet retired, but the royal bolster. The expression " Ribald rhymes " is derived, some say, from the name of the mad poet.
