Paris, France — Circa February 1382

Roaming, flashing globe

Before the Maillets uprising, a fiery flashing globe was seen for a period of eight days, “roaming from door to door above the city of Paris, without there being any wind agitation nor lightning or noise of thunder, and on the contrary, the weather never ceased to be serene.”
