Deeds of Arms and Other Matters Medieval and Otherwise
About Me
- Will McLean
- I’ve been involved in medieval recreation since 1975. I contributed to a manual for living history that later grew into the book Daily Life in Chaucer’s England, and have written and illustrated several articles on the medieval tournament. This blog is mostly a platform for my other writing about the Middle Ages, and whatever else moves me: other history, movies, SF, space exploration, contemporary politics and economics. You can find my livejournal feed at Willscommonplac

It's just like reading Froissart: Pages of "and the horses refused, and no harm was done" followed by a good hit, finally. Very cool toys, though!
Those are so cool... I have been debating getting a set for just the the novelty. I like the tilt being required, as it is a good thing training a real horse for jousting as well. The comment by Hugh is interesting to note!
