teccnically im researching welsh longbows and onision's crimes, i ought to free up the screen space

In my defense, the welsh longbows are for my history of warfare class’s paper

I don’t know what to say about that, but they did provide the best longbows and make the English formidable during thehundred years war

I’m looking at the list of channels and one of them is called the love shack, what is that?

Sheep as artillery lmao

I don’t know, I think a live flailing animal would be a little non-aerodynamic

Dork jokes, i dig it

Anyone in the chat smoke homestuck?

From what ive learned in the warefare class, Knight is actually a misnomer... A better term would be the “European heavy horseman”, accurate but not very sexy

Cavalry became more common because the people that were creating the “discourse “were usually family members of the Calvalry, since knights and the educated beurocrats were both younger sons of lords , and it was in good form to hype up your brothers accomplishments on the battlefield, hype up your family name. This also shifted focus away from arming /training the infantry of your armies, for fear that if you taught your infantry how to kill enemy knights, they might eventually try to kill you when the when the peasant infantry got upset at your mistreatment of them. So what happened was a sort of arms race, with each sides knights continuing to bulk up themselves, the size of the horses, and their combined armor in order to attack other knights, since infantry couldnt be allowed to, while the infantry was able to fight other infantry because they both sucked equally

I realize that is a sort of long paragraph, but we just talked about it in class and I found it real interesting

Knights actually weren’t likely to inherit, because they were second or third sons. Most of the times the first son got everything, and your second or third son was sent to your neighboring lords household to be a knight in his retinue (strengthening ties between the two lord ships), or you sent him to the church to get educated. If a knight Got land, it would be gifted from the Lord his father sent him to, not from his father

Yeah, your Lord would give you land, I was just saying that as a knight you weren’t likely to get it from pops, since first sons don’t become knights they become lords

Postage stamp isn’t really covering much, but here’s take two I guess?

I don’t know much about Knightly brotherhood’s, this class covers the entire history of warfare so we don’t get a lot of time to talk about any one particular system,so I didn’t even consider the fact such brotherhoods existed

Dang, what did The church do about them?

Ha, the usual “evil pagan” dehumanization tactic

Child crusades?

Sometimes teenage girls manage to do things cool lol

War is weird like that, sometimes u get rly lucky

That feel when you get executed for crimes of girl #justgirlythings

Well, and for being a so-called heretic but ykno

It is fascinating, I wish I had enough knowledge to continue the conversation with you, but I only know the surface level unfortunately

Nice to meet some of you guys, I got to get back to researching the welsh longbow, I shall return some other evening
