History[edit | edit source]
And oh yea the kind Olde English Wench of the Lake did descend from the Heavens, and quoth unto the small Village of Yorkeshire, "You are free from ye grippe of ye evyl Wytch Pamela the Large!" And oh yea did the Townsfolk rejoyce! And rejoyce they did! And the kind Wench did say "I do not need rejoysing, nor do I need to be remembered." But alas, Sir Bron Dakari The Lesser did indede want to rememberre the Wench that hath saved his Village, and commenced creating a Langwige so perfect, that all the Wirld should know it. A Langwyge known as Ye Olde English. Ye Olde English of Pamala the Large! (The næme hath since changeth.)
