Since we all enjoy medieval / middle ages stuff, I thought 'why not have a thread where said stuff can be viewed and discussed' especially since said stuff so easily works its way into our gaming pursuits... so here goes!

I'm currently playing a knight in Captain Blood's C&C campaign so I'll start with a short video about The Life of a Medieval Knight.

I've dabbled with creating coats of arms for my local gaming group and for my knight PC in Captain Blood's game. Both efforts were lots of fun!

Here is a short video dealing with the subject: Coats of Arms Explained.

One more to start this thread as it ties in to the C&C Kleaves campaign run by the good Captain Blood: Ranks of Nobility, Explained.
