Title: Last Stand at Visby - Documentary
Post by: Darklinger on December 08, 2016, 12:00:43 AM

Just found this fascinating three-quarter hour documentary on the battle of Visby, or rather its archaology, on You Tube. Maybe it will be new to some other members - it has some cracking stuff on the armour:

Am wondering what has happened re the other, un-dug graves they spotted.

This appears to be an old Medieval Dead episode, also to be found here :

Also worth a look is the one in the same series (series 1) on the preceding Battle of Masterby (on the same page as above).  This was subject to some discussion here at the time of first broadcast.

contrary to popular opinion, I am not the eye of Mordor!  ;)
