Mademoiselle Braun,
I'll keep that in mind, but keep in mind that the acutal Knights/Guards of
the kingdom wear Spanish hat-shaped helmets and possibly armor too.
The Bulls do have a Germanic or even nomadic look to them, but they are
slightly more juvenile than even the worst of previous Castle face-paintings.

P.S.: I thought the ordinary Forestmen screamed "Nottingham", right down to
their river crossing. I wonder what the Wolfpack scream, other than "owoooo!"?
