Thanks for the ping to post 76. This is an excellent documentary. Great archaeology. Learned a lot I didn’t know about medieval warfare and especially English archery.

Other than having to live in a socialist dystopia, it would be great to live in the UK where there’s so much stuff to be found with ordinary garden tools.

Note: this topic is from 12/29/2010. Just a video link I'm finishing up now (watched a lot, listening to the balance because I wanted to post it). Not sure which one I've got streaming (same title), so both links below. I try not to get too worked up about the outcomes of old battles nowadays, because it turns out I'm descended from most of the jokers who ran those "noble" houses. And I didn't inherit one dime from them, the bastards.
