Queen Elizabeth herself gathered knots of May in the meadows, one author tells us
The May tree is the white (or pink) blossomed hawthorn tree and since its thorns are long, plentiful and painful and its twigs are tough to break off, Good Queen Bess displayed great fortitude in gathering her 'knots'. I reckon she had someone do it for her with a good pair of secateurs.
