There was a count in the Outlands (and former Midrealm knight) who's name I forget (________ von Drachenwald?) who fought for years with a cervellier (the predecessor of the bascinet) under his Pembridge-style greathelm. The cervellier had his county coronet on it, and a cotton-stuffed linen liner i...

Glen: I'm afraid so . They've cast Patrick Stewart (of Star Trek TNG and X-Men fame) as Henry II, and Glenn Close (of Fatal Attraction) as Eleanor of Aquitaine. Think of it--Jean-Luc Picard meets Alex Forrest in 1183 Chinon. It's like a Star Trek script gone horribly wrong (shudder)! Thankfully, the...
