An account of a contagious sleep at the Court of Frederick Barbarossa who fell asleep with his gallant knights around him. Some people suspected a dark intrigue, others thought the fairies were involved. "Frederick Barbarossa is still asleep. In the crypt beneath a ruined castle, in the midst of a dense forest, he is seated before a table round which his beard has twisted seven times. He will awake to drive away the crows which croak around the mountain."
