New Article:
1066 is considered to be a pivotal year in History. Before it
was the Early middle ages and after it was the High Middle ages.
Many things happened in this important year including the Battle
of Hastings. Read part 1 of a 4 part series of articles on this
important and bloody year: How King Harold and Anglo Saxon
England "fell' into the Bad Fall of 1066
The case of the Unknown Halberd This is a fun little mystery.
A web visitor sent me pictures of an unknown halberd. Unusual
thing about this is that the handle is only a foot long. So it must
have been rehandled at some point. Check out more pictures
here. The Unknown Halberd
The Cloisters Museum in New York This is an absolutely spectacular museum in Manhattan
devoted to the Medieval period. And to get to be like a Medeival Abbey they actually
disassembled five abbeys in Europe, shipped the pieces here then
reassembled them. The Cloisters in New York
James has made more
archaeological discoveries
including this fantastic Bodkin
which was a nasty little weapon.
Read more about it the other
finds here: The Medieval
Bodkin

a tremendous find of the parts of a crossbow and he rebuilt it from
scratch. Fabulous find and an amazing Crossbow Reconstructing
a Genoese Crossbow
New Discovery I got an email from a guy who lives in Great
Britain. His friend found this interesting article in the river near Hay
on Wye. Hmmm... could this be some kind of medieval polearm? See
more pictures and my theory here.

over this span.
The Time Traveler's Apprentice This is an interesting YA fantasy book
with a great approach. It is a fantasy novel but it is based in medieval historical
fact so it is also a learninng tool. Written by a teacher for students Read More

DVD Review This is a review of a History Channel DVD about a medieval
castle siege that took place a thousand years before there were medieval
castles! Alexander took the island of Tyre which was located a half mile off the
shore of Lebanon. And the island had a massive stone wall surrounding it. It
was for all practical purposes a castle. And Alexander the Great sieged and
took it by building a land bridge out to it and creating a new type of siege
engine called the Torsion Catapult. The land bridge out to the island is stil
there over 2,000 years later. Quite amazing. My review of Alexander the Great
& the Catapult
DVD Review: Life in Medieval Times This is well researched and well
presented. If you want to learn about this interesting period of time (1066
1485) you will get a lot out of this DVD. The rise of the guilds, the Magna
Carta, knighthood, family life, farm life, etc. Life in Medieval Times

but is having trouble identifying it. Is it a Voulge? A Halberd? Or
Something else. Take a look at some more pictures and see if you can
identify it. The Unknown Medieval Polearm
This is definitely an unusual weapon and I have gotten lots of
guesses but it looks like one web visitor has categorized this
correctly. Read the probable solution on the weapons page at the link
above.
The lives of two medieval women. These two women lived in the period of time between the
Black Plague and the Renaissance. T his was a time of a changing of life and culture and it laid a
lot of the groundwork for the modern day. The first woman is the Prioress of a 15th century
Nunnery and the second is a housewife of 14th century Paris. Both lives were very interesting and
somewhat as expected, rich and interesting. Both these accountings are historically accurate, well
documented, and quite fascinating.

Armory and it has one of the most spectacular collections of suits of

weapons. A look Inside Higgins Armory Museum
