one o'clock
At wrestling Roger bore off the palm . Some of his opponents were , in the opinion of lookers on , more skilled at the sport ; but his weight and strength more than counterbalanced this , and one after another tried , in vain , to throw him to the ground ; succumbing , themselves , as soon as he put out his strength , and theirs began to be exhausted ; when , drawing them up to him with irresistible strength , he laid them quietly on the ground . Oswald himself carried off the palm in a mile foot race . At one o'clock the sports were concluded . While they had been going on , a score of men were attending to the great joints roasting over bonfires , six bullocks having been slaughtered the day before . Ducks , geese , and chickens innumerable were also cooking ; while , for the table in the hold , at which the principal guests sat down , were trout , game , and venison pasties . Here wine was provided , while outside a long row of barrels of beer were broached , for the commonalty .
