Re: Bannockburn 2014
Thanks for the comments. The anniversary event this year was great. We would love to attend future events, but as a London based group, an annual trek is unlikely. If there was the same level of funding as 2014 to make it a major event again we could be interested. Other events draw our call now, al...

Hi Some feedback from the battle of Bannockburn (live).

Re: Knights on horseback?
While that's true, dismounting doesn't necessarily help either, as was shown at Poitiers. A very interesting battle with several French battles attacking first on horseback, and then on foot, and when the English were spent, out of arrows, Edward of Woodstock ordered his army to attack the oncoming...

Calendar Patent Rolls are not the same as the Statutes of the Realm. Useful and well worth a browse though they may be. Yes, although I did check before posting and the first one I came across, was for the enforcement of the statute given in the example above: http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/patentrolls/...

Hi Sir John Sully was said to have been born in 1281 and died 1387. Normally this would have been attributed to several people of the same name except for his testimony in the Scope-Grosvenor enquiry in 1386. In the enquiry both Sir John de Sully and Sir John Chydioke claimed to be over 100 years in...
