Re Charlemagne:
When home from his foreign
wars, he spent most of his time traveling… He
was accompanied, after 802, by an
elephant, presented to him by Caliph Harun al-Rashid.
-- Morris Bishop, The
Middle Ages (1968)
And hooray for the good
king, Harun al-Rashid !!
A-a-and.... cf. John Cooper's poem "Hymn to God" of 1746, containing "lyric Pindarics that sing the praise of God in terms of elephant..." (Wm Jones).
