NK - FW: St. Inglevert

[Niewoehner, Hugh]

Those of you interested in descriptions of period jousts, battles, etc.
translated from period sources (mid 1300's to 1400)  should peruse HG
Finnvarr's site.  He's just updated it with a new work announced below.
Most of the segments can be read in 5-10 min. 

And to head off those who will have fun misreading the URL, that's the
University of Nipissing, Canada.

His primary site is:
