The Court of Queen Margot
The Court of Queen Margot
There are stories about Dame Margot drinking heavily and declaring herself Queen of Amber, wearing the crown of Amber and drinking from a gallon jug of Bayle's Gin. She apparently lead a court of castle staff declaring themselves dukes and barons, and elderly knights.
This incident has been seen in the popular literature as a epic tale, and has been made in to fanciful tales, morality plays, songs, ribald fireside stories and other tales as a time of whimsy under a fun but inane queen.
Dame Margot does not speak of this time and wise people do not mention it to her.
