Blood Letting
Blood letting was a common practice to let of the energy of young men. For example, a literary hero Guingamor is to go hunting but:
| Ses nies estoit ce jor seingniez, | His nephew [Guingamor] had been bled that day |
| Si estoit auques desetiez, | And so was feeling rather indisposed. |
So Guingamor stays at home and plays chess.
