Porcanket

Porcanket: noun. A blanket made from the skin or skins of porcupines. This famous accessory not only provides immense comfort, but also excellent protection. Possibly the most famous porcanket belonged to the famous Hannibal, who took it everywhere with him as protection against potential nighttime assassins. The authors of this blog would also here recognise the brilliant, but also often overlooked Scipio Africanus, who in the end defeated Hannibal and thereby also took his porcanket, which has since then been in his family for centuries. It is also rumoured that both Queen Victoria and Fidel Castro have owned a porcanket, which has allowed them to escape many assassination attempts.
