	Woodwose at AllExperts
		King Charles VI of France and five of his courtiers were dressed as woodwoses and chained together for a mascarade at the tragic Bal des Sauvages (later known as the Bal des Ardents) at the Queen Mother's Paris hotel, January 28, 1393.
		In the midst of the festivities, a stray spark from a torch set their hairy costumes ablaze, burning several courtiers alive; the king's own life was saved through quick action by his aunt, the Duchesse de Berry, who smothered the flames in her cloak.
		His fiction might imply that (in his fictional timeline) the 'actual' Druedain of ancient Middle-earth, were the origin of the legendary Woodwoses of more recent folklore.

	The Woodwose: Interesting Thing of the Day
		Called a woodwose, or in Anglo-Saxon wuduwasa, this wild man of the forest was a familiar figure in the literature and visual arts of the Middle Ages.
		As with Bigfoot, the woodwose’s natural territory was believed to be the forest (hence the name: literally “wood-man”), and it too was said to be a hominoid covered in a heavy coat of hair.
		For example, woodwoses were often featured in the decoration of medieval churches, most particularly in ceiling bosses, the pieces of sculpture placed at the intersections of overlapping roof vaults.

		I have only recently noticed the many woodwoses (wildmen) on bosses in the south cloister at Canterbury Cathedral - several woodwoses hunting a boar, two holding a coat of arms, a female woodwose holding the horns of a bull and another woodwose with his hands clasped.
		The woodwose is obviously a savage creature - a wild man of the woods - yet his very closeness to nature has paradoxically indicated gentility and an association with the aristocracy, often being depicted in coats of arms as part of the device or as supporters, as here.
		The Jack-in-the-Green, which (like the woodwose) is sometimes seen as an aspect of the Green Man, is a person dressed in a cone of leaves who dances or processes with Morris Dancers.

		Curiosities of church architecture and medieval manuscripts, the Wildman or woodwose has, like his more famous contemporary the Green Man, been adopted by neo-Pagans as evidence of pre-Christian mythology and beliefs.
		It is tempting to take accounts such as Pliny's at face value, and that the woodwose was a form of ancient world Yeti.

		In this crude carving you can see the head of the “wild man” in the centre, with foliage streaming out his mouth meant to symbolise the wild chaotic spread of nature, the leaves continuing round the top of the pillar.
		The Woodhouse family in Norfolk have a coat-of-arms which includes two “green men” as supporters, which made me wonder whether the name Woodhouse was a corruption of the word “woodwose”.
		My theory (a wild theory, with no substantiation) is that the “green men” or “woodwoses” were possibly Neanderthals, who lived side-by-side with the Cro-Magnon tribes until they became marginalised by the more successful species and were driven into the wastelands and the forests, eventually becoming a folk memory.

		Puck is a mischievous pre-Christian nature spirit, a " woodwose "in the archetype of the Horned God.
		Milton, in L'Allegro tells "how the drudging Goblin swet/To earn his cream-bowle duly set" by threshing a week's worth of grain in a night, and then, "stretch'd out all the chimney'slength,/Basks at the fire his hairy strength." Milton's Puck is not small and sprightly, but nearer to a Green Man or a hairy woodwose.
		For followers of neo-Pagan imagery, sometimes theinfluence of Pan imagery has now given Puck the hindquarters and clovenhooves of a goat.

		It was often thought that when fairies awake in the spring, sacrifice should be made to them, perhaps an offering of milk, honey, cream, melted butter, or, in some cases, a cock.
		In Britain and elsewhere in Europe, the vegetation spirit is portrayed as the Green Man or woodwose at spring festivals, a symbol of regeneration, vegetation, life and hope.
