Morning Medieval Miscellany

Let's see how far I can get before the kids' alarm clocks go off:

• Archaeology in Europe has 19 new posts.
• BabelStone has 72 medieval images. h/t Cliopatria.
• Muhlberger's Early History has video of medieval explosives!
• The Cranky Professor is Dante blogging.
• The Heroic Age has over a dozen new posts, CfPs and the like.
• Getting Medieval has images from Guedelon.
• The Medieval Bookworm reviews The Doomsday Book. Back when we were putting together MediEvolution, one of the segments for our test run was a review of the same book.
• Lingwe discusses Tolkien's View: Windows into his World.
• Mearcstapa posted an abstract for a submission to K'zoo.
• The Medieval Garden Enclosed reminds us that it's time for threshing.
• Mony Wylsum Way plays a writers' game with Arthurian characters.
• Steven Till has seven essential fantasy reads, none of which I've read. As a general rule, I find fantasy novels by authors with the first name "Terry" unreadable.
• Popular Culture has posts on two new books: Cinematic Illuminations: The Middle Ages on Film, and Medieval Film.
• Cloregy has a post on hurricanes in the Medieval Warm Period.
• Prof. Rodney Stark defends the Crusaders.
• Think no one is passionate about medieval literature? Some guy stabbed two people to death in an argument over books on medieval lit.

Here's to hoping I don't get stabbed during my Anglo-Saxon poetry lecture today...
