about the goose, the circumstances that made people think a miraculous revival had occurred.

And the uphill water? Does Britain ever get tsunamis? They can push streams and rivers uphill in narrow valleys where they flow into the sea. Or maybe it was a strong nor'easter.

There is often some factual, natural detail at the core of legends, though I can't imagine what it would have been with the goose.

Interesting historic period, though.
