My favorite legend is a little different lol

. This is a tale I was told when I was a child by my grandmother, and explains why Gypsy people got there wanderer stereotype.

The tales say in the beginning, we came from another land that was long ago destroyed. We were all still happy folk and we had many friends.
One day, as we were celebrating a man came to our camp and as usual we invited him in. This was to be a mistake and a curse. This man was a necromancer and he wanted us to serve him. We refused. We loved life too much. Why would we cheat death only to serve chaos and evil? In a rage, he cursed us, saying that we would never settle in any land and that we would forever be outcasts. He then disappeared and we laughed, thinking him no more than a foolish old man. The next day our land was destroyed by forces we could not contend with, un-dead stormed our homes, and many of us died or worse.
The survivors ran, we sought safety and refuge, but wherever we went it was always the same, we were refused for any number of reasons. We fled and regrouped on a mountain. Gathering we drew a circle, all three drew knives and shed blood on the earth. We vowed to forever serve balance, and protect the land. When the last drop soaked into the ground a strange feeling came over us. A voice was heard telling us that we would be cursed to wander yes, but we would be able to adopt those humans of like mind to be gypsy, and that our blood being spilled, to protect we had now the ability to curse those who would cause our deaths.
We have wandered ever since. We revel in life and preserve it at all costs.

Best Wishes to all...

How about Drake's drum. The legend says that if ever England is going to be invaded then the drum of Sir Francis Drake will sound a warning, some bits say he'll return, others that it's just a warning.
Another is about the ravens at the Tower of London, if we ever get rid of them or they leave then the English monarchy will fall (where's that bloody gun when I want it).
