| Exit, ----ed by a bear |

I think this one belongs in the medieval weirdness collection.
"One admired eleventh-century ludus histrionum (play performed by actors) is reported to have featured a tame bear, an actor's naked membra and honey!"
--John Southworth, The English Medieval Minstrel, p. 7, citing Richard Axton, European Drama of the Early Middle Ages, p. 18. |
