jan 1, 1101 - Gunhilda Kneen misses out on a Kwidditch match because of a case of Dragon Pox

Description:

Goodwin Kneen of Yorkshire wrote a letter to his cousin Olaf in Norway describing their Kwidditch match against a team from Ilkley.

His wife Gunhilda was to play Catcher but had to sit out the match due to her illness from Dragon Pox. Instead of a the modern Bludger, clubs were used to hit Blooders towards the opposing team – Ugga missed one which hit their teammate Radulf. This was the first match where barrels (donated by the local innkeeper) were used for scoring the goals.
