Re: "History Channel’s Vikings is just as brutal as GoT"
What's historically correct for that sort of thing, though? We have little enough as it is to point us in the right direction, so this hue and cry for historicity is going to fall on largely deaf ears. There's just no way to tell- what do they have to go on? Artistic impressions, paintings (if they...

Thats correctEgfroth wrote:Joanot Martorell's 15th century romance Tirant lo Blanc mentions someone in a tournament wearing leg armour of something like parchment painted to look like steel so he could move more nimbly. It was regarded as cheating and punished if I recall (a long time since I read the book).

Re: WMA Kettle Helm w/ss aventail $580
I am still around, and still make the occasional helm, I just no longer do it as a business.
I doubt Id make another kettle though as you can get them elsewhere now.
Enjoy the kettle, cheap price

What a disaster Greg, for you and the other authors.
I am very sorry you and the others had to deal with something like this.
Its shameful behavior on the part of the Prices, and those who willingly aid them.
