None. The ninth hour. Halfway between noon and sunset. About three P.M.. Actually, this is where the term noon came from, as a joke. There was once this monastery, the inmates of which, as a mark of their austerity, swore that they would not eat each day until the none bell struck. Well, since they were the ones who were in charge of ringing the bells, and since a guy gets awfully hungry sitting around and praying, the none bell sort of got to be rung a little earlier each day. The townspeople, noticing this, got to calling mid-day "none," to ridicule the monks, and the name struck, eventualy turning into "noon."The Radiant Warrior (from the Author's Note regarding Medieval Time)
