April Was Oster-Monath Because the Wind Generally Blew from the East During This Month. The Woodcut Appears to Represent Three Thegns Celebrating a Feast by Quaffing Ale from Their Drinking-Horns. On the Right is an Armed Guard with a Long Spear and on the Left Are Two Servitors. The Bench on which the Three Worthy Thegns Are Seated is Adorned with Two Sculptures of Formidable-Looking Animals.
