In the latest Professor Awesome, PhD video, I explain about how the history of the legendary medieval King Leir affected the way Shakespeare's audiences experienced the ending of his play, King Lear.

Lego Battle of Maldon
Here's a Lego Battle of Maldon. I'd have preferred Old English narration and Modern English titles, but hey, this is a really good version.
Thanks to Elizabeth Carnell for pointing this out over at the MyFace/SpaceBook.

Stephen Fry and Ian McKellen Battle the Forces of Mordor
I have long feared that a certain unnamed pizza place famous among medievalists (one that I frequent in early May of every year *hint*hint*) would lose its identity to a copyright lawsuit, and this appears to be what almost happened to a pub called "The Hobbit."
Fortunately, Stephen Fry and Ian McKellen (the latter playing Gandolf in the LotR films and the upcoming film adaptations of The Hobbit) have agreed to pay the copyright license fee so the pub can keep its name.
