As quoted from wikipedia:
The Bayeux Tapestry (French: Tapisserie de Bayeux) is a 50 cm by 70 m (20 in by 230 ft) long embroidered cloth—not an actual tapestry—which explains the events leading up to the 1066 Norman invasion of England as well as the events of the invasion itself. The Tapestry is annotated in Latin.
In itself interesting reading, especially for those of us in PHEMAS, but I found something else that makes use of the imagery found in the tapestry: The Historic Tale Construction Kit
Bwahahahaha!!
Humor aside though, the write-up on medieval swordsmanship in last sunday’s newspaper has certainly sparked a lot of interest in the society, and I do believe we will have a large influx of new faces at training this weekend. Hopefully, we will find new blood among these who will be passionate about the art and is willing to spend the sweat and the pain to take up swordsmanship as a life-long commitment.
