      It all started with the lady weaving the tapestry and falling in love with this brave knight. He felt her love, and was able to take her into the woven canvas...but a jealous knight (probably French), started to chase them through the battlefield...she was able to escape because her brave bold true love made her slip through the warp...she was desperate, and stabbed the evil knight with her scissor...but before the whole tapestry was unwoven, the knight was able to escape, shocking the nuns and finally kissing on the lips his beloved dame...
