The links on You Tube don't seem to be playing but I found this link ,not sure which episode it is though or if the link is any good.<br />http://primetv.us/medieval-dead-s01e04-hdtv-x264-tvillage<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />Jason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-74737192714790313992014-03-25T19:16:58.173+01:002014-03-25T19:16:58.173+01:00I wouldnt say the Gotlander smallholders "def...I wouldnt say the Gotlander smallholders "defended their town" as told they didnt get much help from the German Town folks as Visby was by the time a well known Hanseatic League town and the inhabitants didn´t want to be involved and let the Gotlander smallholders get slaughtered by the Danes...<br /><br />As the battle took place during the summer they had to get the dead in the ground fast, so fast that they didn´t even had time to loot them, at the exhibition they show a money purce with a greate amount of coins, about £3000...as well as several armours, so far they have found about 25 coat of plates and 130 chainmail hoods as well as very much arrow and crossbow heads.<br /><br />A very interesting bit of historical evidence.<br /><br />Best regards Michael<br /><br /><br /> Dalaupprorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292614404943521842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-43804730550979671102014-03-25T19:08:29.417+01:002014-03-25T19:08:29.417+01:00indeed a not-project:)

The bodies were buried quickly owing to the hot weather at the time, but unusually, they were not stripped of their armour. <br /><br />Consequently, Visby shows us the wide variety of different armours (some obsolete by 14th century standards) worn by the Gotlander smallholders in their ultimately doomed defence of their town. I dare say that the better-equipped Danes had no need for any of the poor farmers' kit!Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-49582334385919785222014-03-25T11:17:56.827+01:002014-03-25T11:17:56.827+01:00Looks like an interesting exhibition – despite you...Looks like an interesting exhibition – despite your objections! ;) – and hopefully I'll manage a visit. <br /><br />I'm also looking forward to your new not-project based in this ... ;)Jonas Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104129336412766484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-72813768061131555762014-03-25T10:10:29.896+01:002014-03-25T10:10:29.896+01:00Fab.
