On Blogs From the Past

For fans of the BBC’s new Robin Hood series the Sheriff of Nottingham keeps a blog. The Sheriff certainly has some interesting insights in how to best remove tongues and deal with a striking peasantry. He’s clearly a smart guy, the Sheriff, but he should really tone down his moustache-twirling on his blog lest his readers not take him seriously.

For fans of The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer keeps a blog, along with a couple of other people. He’s a little difficult to read, Chaucer. He could use a middle English spellcheck, certainly. Sound the words out phoentically, though, and he’s at least mildly comprehensible. 🙂 The guy on the blog who writes in Old English? Well, your guess is as good as mine. 😉
