Remains of Medieval Knight Discovered


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

The battered remains of a medieval man uncovered at a famous cathedral hint that he may have been a Norman knight with a proclivity for jousting.

The man may have participated in a form of jousting called tourney, in which men rode atop their horses and attacked one another, in large groups, with blunted weapons.

Broken ribs, traumas all over the body, broken legs, missing hands, leprosy and the odd missing teeth here and there...jeeze, they knew had to batter each other.

I wonder what the church wishes will be for the remains now = surely one of those skeletons can be made a saint :whistle:

The House of Lords is still the same.

As opposed to riding underneath them?
