[Ansteorra] History channel tonight

[drwise]

Greetings all:
Just a couple of shows people might be interested in seeing are on tonight
(central time):

7:30PM - 8:00PM
               Conquest
               Tournament
               One of the quintessential images of medieval life, the
tournament lasted well into Tudor times. Actor and fight master Peter Woodward
investigates the purpose of these extraordinary and colorful events and how its
many forms--the foot tourney, joust on horseback, the melee--developed from the
ancient trial of combat. Our team experiments with weapons and armor designed
for tournament, examines the rules of combat and the notion of chivalry, and
joins a medieval tournament team for a joust on horseback! TV PG

(also on at 11:30 p.m. for the night owls)

10:00PM - 11:00PM
               The Holy Grail

               At the Last Supper, Jesus drank from a chalice, passed it to his
Disciples, and it then vanished in history's mists. Some evidence suggests a
follower collected Christ's blood in the Holy Grail and fled to England. Follow
the first communion cup's elusive trail through those who sought it--from King
Arthur to Indiana Jones. TV G
