  1. portune

    Portune - a type of Old English fairy. 12th Century historian, Gervase of Tilsbury wrote of a type of fairy known as a "Portune." They ranged in size from 1.5 inches to the height of a little finger. According to Gervase, Portunes looked like very old men with wrinkled cheeks and they were said to have worked on human farms. They could either be very helpful and finish any laborious task far sooner than any man could or they would be mischievous and trick a lone horseman at night into going into a soft, muddy swamp called a slough.
