Title: Talhoffer's fight book
Post by: fsn on 28 March 2016, 04:26:50 PM
Just seen this on youtube.



It has Mike Lowdes, Bettany Hughes and Terry Jones - all favourites of mine.

If Leon could watch this please, then I'd like some siege condom things, and some crayfish.

Also, as anyone got any rules for men vs women with the men in a hole and women using rocks in the veils?

Very interesting. I saw another similar programme on medieval duels, where you had up to a year to train for said duel. Some of the weapons where pretty special.

Indeed. Interesting. If I had to fight my wife, however, even standing in a hole I'm likely taller.

Hmmm..... :)

Definitely have to come back and have a good gander at this.
