Siamo arrivati a Roma!

June 12, 2016 by Christian

Right. Since my last post, I have learned how to use a Microsoft Surface.  Now there will be photos. That is out intrepid band on Monte Maria overlooking Rome and the Vatican.  It was a great moment, even with some very sore feet; we walked up Monte Maria and when we reached the top, there […]

Vado a Roma

June 9, 2016 by Christian 2 Comments

via WP for Windows app. This week, I’m walking to Rome.  I’m with my friends Jon Press of England and Alessio Porto of Verona Italy and so far we’ve covered almost 150 kilometers, although I freely confess we took a. train for 12 kilometers and we got a ride for almost 30.  Laugh if you […]

The Experience of Armour

May 30, 2016 by Christian 9 Comments

With thanks, as usual, to Celia, champion photographer to the armoured fighting class. BTW, neither of these gentleman are me.  That’s Greg Mele of the Chicago Swordplay guild against Marc Auger of the Barrie Swordplay Guild and Hoplologia in Toronto.  You can just see Jon Press, my awesome squire and marathon runner, in the background […]

Attack, Attack, Attack? Understanding “Vor” & “Nach”

May 26, 2016 by Christian 4 Comments

Another excellent blog on the idea of priority and the difference, if I may say so, between the mentality of sport and a real attempt to be in the mindset where the weapons are deadly and you have only one ‘life’ and not three ‘hits’.

My Summer Recreating the Past

May 24, 2016 by Christian 5 Comments

That picture is of the Torneo del Cigno Bianco, or the Tournament of the White Swan, held every year in Verona, Italy.  This year, the Torneo will be held from 3 June 2016 to June 2016. I’ll be there. I’ve spent a year recovering a shoulder injury, and also making my harness better; that is, […]

Reading Froissart in the Adirondacks

May 17, 2016 by Christian 3 Comments

Last weekend, I went to the Adirondacks to visit my dad.  His cabin is one of the most comfortable places in the world, despite the lack of running water and electricity, or perhaps because of it.  There’s no internet, and there’s time to read. I took Froissart, a very long, very tangled, and sometimes downright […]

Finishing the Long War — On parting with old friends

March 2, 2016 by Christian 15 Comments

A long, long time ago, in what sometimes seems like a different world, I sat down, full of passion, to write the book that eventually became ‘Killer of Men.’  And today, in a coffee shop, I sat down to write the last lines in what will probably be the last book of the Long War […]

Faith,Piety and writing about religion

February 18, 2016 by Christian 4 Comments

Religion is culture.  Culture is religion. Hey, I didn’t create those phrases.  But they are useful ways of approaching writing about religion, and understanding religion in fiction and reality.  So why does every culture seem to have its own religion?  Why is English Protestantism so different from American Protestantism, why is Iraqi Sunni Islam so […]

War, Violence, and Killing Characters

January 26, 2016 by Christian 10 Comments

Lodovico di Medici, known as Giovanni delle Bande Nere Everyone knows the trite, oft-repeated slogan.  ‘War is Hell.’  And some know Lincoln’s comment, ‘Military glory–that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood–that serpent’s eye, that charms to destroy… ‘ and we’ve all heard ‘Live by the sword, die by the sword.’  The human race […]

The Best books of 2015

January 4, 2016 by Christian 4 Comments

I agree that there’s some false advertising in the title.  First, I admit that many of my choices are books written before Christ was born; second, that they are purely subjectively the best.  Really, what we’re looking at here is my reading habits.  These are the books that I liked best in 2015. I’ll start […]
