Earl Brion Thornbird has a smattering of info on his site at
http://www.chronique.com , and Maurice Keen's book _Chivalry_ is always a
good starting point.

I would have prefered a vigil, but they got me on a search-and-destroy.  It
was such a shock that I really don't remember much.  Friends gave me photos
of the ceremony, but I can't quite sync the scenes with the fuzzy gap in my
memory.  I remember the collee'.  King Thorfin's knuckle cracked when it
struck my chest.  Before that, it's pretty much a blur.
