Well, Gisbourne didn’t last long!

Wow, that entire thread where we explained to you that's not what happened had zero effect, huh?

It does occur to me--and I have no experience or insight into this but maybe @darjr can provide some--in a real fight between two knights back in the day, if swords are so useless, why would they bother with swords at all? Why wouldn't one just rugby tackle the other, and then immediately stab...
