Present Jago

I've removed the following:

Ironiacally, cousins of the present Jago, reputed to be part of a "mad, Catholic family" by Sophie Wood, Oxford 2007, now seek succour in the area.

It's not only the spelling error in the first wird but also the lack of clarity that makes this look out of place. If someone knows who this "present Jago" is meant to be or what the title of that ominous book might be, feel free to explain and re-insert. Cheers, Trigaranus 22:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sightings of Jago

Alright, this sounds really cool. So there is a figure in regional folklore which is identified today as Jago. But it's very unlikely that a figure supposedly invented by Geoffrey has entered rural mythology. Could people who know about this modern Jago expand the article a little? There's a lot of questions one might ask, such as: since when has that figure been seen? is it a cognate of the White Ladies and other ancestral spirits of noble houses? has it always been identified with a "King Jago"? in what form does it's name appear in the rural legends? what theories are there for the origin of this figure?

It sounds as if it was a historistic kind of projection into the age of Reformation (what with "mad Catholic family" and all), but could be as late as from the Victorian age. What does Sophie Wood write in her book? Trigaranus 08:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
