3. Night number 295 (Eb7-10) is a combination of haga rave and niu:

 

The haga rave sign is understandable, because it means 'the harbour of rest' of the preceding season. The journey has ended, which means the King will now hide for a while to keep himself alive. He has travelled on 'dry land' so far, but now he has reached 'the ocean'.

... The sacred king pretended to die at sunset; the boy interrex was at once invested with his titles, dignities, and sacred implements, married to the queen, and killed twenty-four hours later ...

The glyph type niu is distinct and easy to find in the texts. Metoro was consequent in saying niu at this type of glyph (only once did he use the word at another type of glyph).

And now we know what it probably means: viz. the border line between 'land' and 'water', a place of rest, a 'harbour' in the calendar. Niu is important for us.

In the history of England there is a remarkable event of a King hiding in a tree in order to survive. Presumably this is not real history but history turned into myth:

Robur Carolinum, Charles' Oak, the Quercia of Italy and the Karlseiche of Germany, was formally published by Halley in 1679 in commemoration of the Royal Oak of his patron, Charles II, in which the king had lain hidden for twenty-four hours after his defeat by Cromwell in the battle of Worcester, on the 3rd of September 1651.
