As I said: all through the middle ages and renaissance painters and scupltors (including woodcarvers) have made pietas. M’s was just one, although one of the...
Hi, Does anyone happen to know details of the peace negotiations between England and Scotland in November 1316? What I have found so far is that the Abbot of...

Hi, Henk,  Yes, I've studied Bannockburn and the Wars of Independence pretty thoroughly, including the famines and weather. So far, I haven't found quite...

It alle depends on what kind of man he is? A knight or higher ranking sergeant? Then he is not polishing himself. He will have servants doing that for him. ...
