Just a quick note to followers of this blog to apologize for my lack of posts in the last few months – things have been busy at work – lots of travel and things to do. But, I am planning to get back to the writing and the blogging more now that the nights are drawing in. Will probably go back to the posts about magic in Chaucer shortly and possibly some stuff on things that interest me such as the Field of Glory PC game and other things related to medieval and fantasy.
Watch this space as they say …
Happy Europeans ignore the web!
I can’t understand why people writing blogs don’t have feeds or a way of staying up to date. Nowadays unless a site has a feed I am very likely to ignore it – after all how can you be prompted to visit it for new information?
I have added a new page to my Stupor Mundi website. The page provides some information on the medieval alliterative poem The Awntyrs off Arthure at the Terne Wathelyne, which was a very popular poem in the late 14th century.
Fantasy Magazine have made available a chapter from the class The Water-Babies
by Charles Kingsley.
I have now published a page for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight at my Stupor Mundi website.
I’ve gathered what information I can so far about this key battle during the reign of Frederick II. There seems to be little concrete source material for the siege of Parma in 1247-1248 unfortunately.
Information on Michael Scots writings has been updated at my Stupor Mundi website.
Today I have put up a page for Castel Fiorentina. This is where Frederick II died on 13 December 1250. So far the page contains some useful links, photos and an interesting video of the site of the castle.
