In medieval time-keeping, the none or ‘ninth hour’ seem to have referred to different times of the day. Strictly speaking, the ‘ninth’ canonical hour is around 3 p.m., in the middle of the afternoon. However, in medieval times (and particularly in England) the period that was referred to as none (both in English and in Anglo-Norman) began to move back in time, and soon became synonymous with ‘midi’, i.e. midday, resulting in Modern English ‘noon’. Nevertheless, the original sense also seems to have persisted all through the A-N period. For more information, see FEW 7,190a, and William Rothwell, ‘The hours of the day in medieval French’, French Studies 13 (1959), 240-51, and ‘A further note on nonne’, French Studies 20 (1966), 223-5.
