Of Interest on You Tube 

(by various hosts)

1. Would you recognise a Medieval Landscape? 

Jason Kingsley, the Modern Knight, rides out through a modern landscape ready for the hay harvest and compares it to what the medieval landscape may have been. How were woodlands used? What happened there and why?

2.  Was the 1066 Dane Axe an anti-horse Terror Weapon?
