Is this really a medieval illustration? Because the character that is supposed to be Beckett looks a bit like Richard Burton’s who played him in the movie? Otherwise, the medieval artists, don’t they just do their work great? the guy who has the sword to his back (article says he was beheaded) and looking straight out at the viewer, almost looks comical, deadpan expression. And how about the guy at the back facing the wall with his sword face down, ready to strike...? He’s what, 3 feet from his target and cant find it? Never understood after Rome and Greece great art how the guys in the medieval days couldn’t get it right.
Any other direct descendants of Henry II here? My brother traced us back through some ancestry site.
Perhaps half the people on earth are direct descendants.
Do I have any distant cousins on this thread?
