History of the Knowne Worlde in Song and Story: 
A special challenge from Sir Fern

Which songs, stories, tales and legends of the SCA are well-known in many different kingdoms? What are the stories and songs that transcend all of the Laurel Kingdoms to create our shared bardic heritage? Countess Sir Fern de la Foret is searching for the most widespread and popular examples of bardic arts to collect for presentation at the SCA 50-year Celebration in 2016. Performances, texts, and recommendations are welcome! This is a difficult challenge, because the goal is to find the universal themes covering all 50 years, rather than each kingdom's favorites. (The bardic history of each kingdom is also important, of course, and it will be a separate topic.)
