Please continue making these “insider” videos with details we’d otherwise never know or appreciate. It is also wonderful to hear the names and details of the craftsmen and lesser known people connected to these beautiful artifacts. Thanks very much!

Each of these fine videos brings me back to one of life’s most vibrant places. It is indeed vibrant because of the preservers who daily solve complex puzzles without manuals. Thomas Becket would undoubtedly be quite proud. Chaucer would be as well. The stained glass is also a treasure because of the people that lovingly keep it that way. The mysterious black knight would feel most honored by all this attention. Generations not yet born will be blessed by this excellent craftsmanship.

It's nice to know that these relics and the history and techniques that gave us them are at least not totally forgotten.

But who is Edward P?? Do you know who he was, or his family?

If I had it all to do over again, I'd take the courses necessary to do the sort of historical restorations shown here. Having been a dedicated Anglophile all my life, from mid-teens to the present, I believe preserving these priceless links to England's historical past would be a very satisfying vocation. I've nothing but the deepest respect for these protectors of England's illustrious Past. All the more important now that the UK's Present and Future are SO far from being illustrious...

Really? why not study the middle ages as they happened in America?

carbidegrd1, The Middle Ages In America are also really cool too! Like the establishment of Mesa Verde in Colorado, around the year 800 I believe and lasted ‘til the beginning of the thirteenth century and the culture went into decline, and also the Mississippi Culture would have started to flourish as well. It’s just that there are not too many historical records to build off of during the Middle Ages, in the Americas really only speculation for when certain events had happened. It isn’t just the Middle Ages I look into as I also study other world history like the Tu’i Tonga dynasty in the South Pacific, or the Shengoku era in Japanese history, it’s just that the early to late Middle Ages captures my attention (especially European) for sure.

Sería genial que pudieran recrear la fabricación de este escudo, usando las técnicas tradicionales de esa época. Saludos.

Great job Ladies. You are doing a very important job for future generations! Thank you - as always, (the videos are too short :) Was this shield a ceremony item because it looks not very protective and stabil for fighting. I know Edward was almost killed in both battles, Crecy and Poitiers, and I can not believe this shield being his only protection. What is your website please?

So funny. I have watch a couple of things now about the "black prince" but didn't know his name until now. His name name being Edward Plantagenet makes him a however many grandfather of mine. Because I do know he had plantagenet kings as ancestors. My aunt was doing the research on ancesty and somehow all the info got deleted so it will take years and years to get everything back sadly.
