From Lindybeige. Cavalry horses might not have been as useful as you think. The more experienced the warhorse, the worse it might perform in the fray.

From Lindybeige. Q53: To be sung to is to be tested. We know that all eyes will be on us, and this is possibly the ultimate challenge of reaction.

From Lindybeige. Q50 from the Book of Questions. This one gets a bit morbid.

For example, it took me nearly four…

From Lindybeige. The Atlantic is very wide and has a huge tidal range, meaning that a great mass of water rises there twice a day. The Mediterranean is by comparison very small, with very little tidal range. The two are connected by the narrow Strait of Gibraltar. One might imagine that the deluge of water…
From Lindybeige. Many thanks to the kind folk of Conquest – the re-enactment society – who invited me down to join them at the annual Battle of Evesham bash. Alas, my main camera and all the footage on it were stolen on the way home, but here is something salvaged from the wreck: an interview…
