Today's Gazette is somewhat Medieval/History/SCA heavy. Sorry about that:

A Corner of the Tenth-Century
A blog

Medieval/Renaissance Embroidery Homepage

Unlocked Wordhoard
Another blog

Beowulf on Steorarume (Beowulf in Cyberspace)

The Mystery of Ælfgyva from yet another blog (Got Medieval). This post is about a weird naked guy on the Bayeux Tapestry.
Clearly, there's something interesting going on here. Ælfgyva is the only named woman in the entire Tapestry,* and there's a naked guy standing right under her with his little naked guy standing out for all to see. But just what is going on is a question that has divided scholars for a long time.
