In England's royal court, it was the custom to dub people with silly nicknames. Elizabeth I was often called ??The Cat?? from the way she fiddled with her Cabinet ministers as if they were mice. The cow, moon and her ??lap-dog?? were also characters in these court charades. The dish was Elizabeth??s serving lady and the spoon was, of course, the royal taster. When these last two secretly eloped, Elizabeth had them captured and confined to the Tower of London. Nobody fiddled with Elizabeth! |
