Bernard writes of the procession: “some them carried horse’s tails in their hands, in imitation of standards; others bore arms, and as they moved forwards, fought a kind of mock battle.” The groom rode a horse at the front of the procession. When he arrived at his bride’s house, “she immediately approached him, and as a sign of submission, washed his feet; after which they both stepped into the house, but returned in an instant to join the procession.” From there, bride and groom marched home hand in hand—the battle won.
