Eric of the Windy Hat

According Hector of Boêce, the king of Sweden, Eric or Henry, surnamed the Windy Hat, could change the wind merely by turning his hat or cap on his head, to show the demon with whom he was in league which way he wished the wind to blow. The demon obeyed the signal so promptly that the king's hat might have served the people for a weather-cock.
