Still Waters Posted April 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2015 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. https://uk.news.yaho...73.html#oucqiab 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted April 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2015 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
