The Secret Fight Master Of The Middle Ages
YouTube ^ | August 28, 2021 | Chronicle - Medieval History Documentaries

Posted on 09/23/2021 3:25:43 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

Violent, secretive, spiritual and packed full of knowledge, an obscure and mysterious manuscript called the Fight Book has been discovered in Denmark. During a time where we think of knights and horses, the book depicts a more bloody side of Europe in the Middle Ages. Through historical re-creations, CGI and with the help of some leading historians, we reveal the surprising detail that proves medieval society was far more peculiar than we realize.

Headline almost sounds like an Asian martial arts movie.

The first rule of Medieval Fight Book is you don’t talk about Medieval Fight Book

Time index set to skip Snow. Additional, not too related:
Tony and the team search for the remains of a renegade knight's Norman castle in one of Northern Ireland's most picturesque spots. King John sent John de Courcy to Ireland in 1170 as part of his invasion force, but de Courcy rebelled against his king's orders, instead establishing his own small kingdom and building a fine castle to defend it.

As opposed to a coarse castle?

I just watched the first five minutes up to the discussion of “judicial combat.” Very fascinating and BRUTAL!

Thanks (as usual) for posting this, SC!

At the 25 second mark...a fighter held his broadsword by the BLADE and slammed the top of his opponent’s helmet with the HANDLE...like a big hammer. Clever. I’ll have to remember that in my next sword fight.

I think King Arthur does that to the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

My pleasure! I like that bald guy, he's an expert on various kinds of ancient combat as well, has shown up in various documentaries over the decades.

"Mighty fine castle you have there, Sir de Courcy. Be a shame if anything happened to it."

I think he was using it as a sledge hammer. The “hittee” said getting hit like that made him feel sick to his stomach. Gruesome video!
