This seems like something they would put in a medieval chronicle about the reign of Charles III. "In the spring of the second year of the reign of Charles III, two riderless horses were seen galloping across London, one coal black and one snow white, which left a trail of blood in its wake. The following year it rained half the time and ruined the entire harvest. In the fourth year famine began to set in after a second failed harvest, which was portended by the timely arrival of the red comet. During this time, the king was seen going from hamlet to hamlet begging for the corn with which he may make the Ducal biscuits."
