The goose intentos

Lancashire husbandmen claimed a goose as their due on the sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, and called it the goose intentos. Blount explained the name from the last word of the old church prayer for that Sunday, which ended with intentos, and said country people jokingly took it for a goose with ten toes. Brand, quoting Beckwith, doubted the story, since the Sunday moved and there was nothing about geese in the prayer, and thought the custom belonged with the Michaelmas goose.
