SlideLock: Head Wounds In Middle High German Literature

Head Wounds In Middle High German Literature

Rachel Kellet is a member of the excellent Linacre School of Defence and is well known in HEMA circles as an superb scholar. She has just made available an article based on her talk at the SWASH event in Leeds earlier this year.

Excellent stuff. Understanding textual evidence is a problem for many and Rachel is one of the few who I think really understand how to use it (I know I certainly don't). Her analysis of text and the drawing out of the key information is very useful. I'm really looking forwards to the publication of her thesis next year.

This is an excellent paper. I've been grappling with literature accounts of medieval injuries since my first brushes with Parzival and Chretien de Troyes. I'm still convinced that swords could split helmets and mail, as the literature is rife with such examples - and not merely in cases of "epic blows."
