I have found the holy grail...

... and it is used for holding paper clips. :)
-
Even in heaven there is no escaping the paper shuffling bureaucracy! :D
-
I already have one. It's vrry niice! ;)
-
Mine's silver, has a yale holding a chalice in hand as a badge. :)
-
Say, I know a guy with a long bow that has the same device nailed to it. ;)
-
Yea, his father stole it from mine and when I went to go get it well...lets just say overall- that one didn't turn out well at all. For me. LOL ;)
Great set of books, no? You've read Azincourt yet?
-
Oh yeah! Cornwell's my favorite. I've read all his stuff (except his modern-day spy thrillers).
-
I've read a few of the Sharpe's Regiment series years ago and didn't catch on that it was the same author til I was halfway through Vagabond. I never actually knew who wrote the Sharpe's books but once I saw the listing (was flipping thru his biblio) it was like a lightbulb.
He's one of my favorite authors for medieval historical fiction, Chadwick is another. Follett's Pillars of the Earth and World Without End have to be two of the finest medieval HF works I've ever read.
-
Follett is awesome. I've been wanting the check out Chadwick based on one of your earlier postings.
-
I'm currently re-reading 'For the Kings Favor' (also published as 'The Time of Singing' abroad), about Roger Bigod II, Earl of Norfolk. His life's story has a lot of parallels to the Marshal's, in fact, they were contemporaries- and the Marshal does appear in the book a few times.
I just read her duology on the Marshal and I have to say she takes the dry factual entries of the likes of Crouch among others and makes it palatable for just about anyone with an interest in things medieval. I read both books at least three times so far. Good reading...I imagine I'll make it through all of her books at some point, or a good number of them at least.

Pretty cool.
You know, the Templars collected a lot of holy relics. Maybe our Order needs a collection of replica relics. lol :)

I vote for the Holy Hand Grenade!
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu--

Not the holy hand grenade! lol
We will BE the relics in about 30 more years knights...lets wait until then, shall we? lol
