English civil war was the last major war where infantry wore armour" It was also the last major war where medieval castles were widely garrisoned and besieged. This is why I find it so interesting. You got one of the last wars where castles and plate infantry armour is worn. It's like the last dying stroke of the middle ages.

Ah The Marley Banks in Perry Woods is what the old London Road has been called by locals for years. King's School have a fete on August Bank Holiday Monday (most) years and you can go to Castle Mound then. A hundred feet from Castle Mound (inside the Cathedral) is the burial place of famous King John of Magna Carta and in fable and largely fabricated story - Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. The last time I went was August 1997 - just happened to be the day after Princes Diana died.

That's right. Sadly, the King's School fete is no more. I think it ended a few years ago now. We work at the King's School from time to time and I think the last fete was almost 10 years ago I think.

It’s probably worth mentioning that, for a given latitude, the elevation of the midday Sun varies through the year, as the Sun travels between tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. At the equinox (twice a year) the Sun is above the equator and the midday elevation directly tells the latitude.

Thank you for making this video about fish traps. However I did want to argue against the point that was made frequently in this video that folks in the middle ages didn't have leisure time, and thus did not have time for leisure fishing, or sport fishing. I believe this to be untrue. There are dozens of images from the middle ages, especially before the late 16th and early 17th century that you claimed was the start of sport fishing, that show folks angling, that is fishing with a line or fishing with a pole and line, clearly doing so leisurely. One must also remember that work was not encouraged on Sunday, so at least 1/7 of their life was good for leisure, and plenty of hypothetical days throughout the year or the farm chores were simply unnecessary or minimal. We can also talk about fusing subsistence fishing and sport fishing, justifying the fun activity because it doubled as acquiring food. Again it was a great video on the use of fish traps, and I appreciate it.

A couple of comments if I may - The best match cord back in the day was made of hemp (less ash than cotton or linen) treated with a solution of lead sugar (aka, lead acetate) to “lead” the cord. [Dittrich, R., Heilinger, H., & Köhler, TH., „Die Entwicklung der Handfeuerwaffe - Ein Überblick“, _Von alten Handfeuerwaffen: Entwicklung, Technik, Leistung: Katalog zur Sonder-ausstellung im Landeszaughaus,_ Veröffentlichungen des Landeszeughauses Graz, № 12 (Landesmuseum Johanneum Graz, 1989), p. 27.] As the availability of match cord wasn't guaranteed, the musketeer/arquebusier was expected to make match cord in the field by dissolving gun powder (which is made from saltpeter) in water, letting the solids settle out, wetting some available hemp, linen, or cotton cord in the supernatant solution, and allowing it to fully dry. I see you followed the de Gheyn manual, however, the English did not prime their musket first, they loaded the main charge first. Per William Garrard, “let him ever first load his peece with powder out of his flaske, then with her [sic] bullet, and last with amuring and touch-powder.” [Source: _The Arte of Warre_ by William Garrard, published posthumously by Captain Robert Hichcock, 1591, p. 3, which was copied verbatim in _England's Trainings and plainly demonstrating the dutie of a private souldier, with the office of each severall officer belonging to a foot company, and the martiall lawes of the field ; as also the office and charge of a colonell ; the exercise of trayning or drilling : with diverse other necessary and profitable disciplined notes and observations,_ by Edward Davies, gentleman, 1619, from _Military Antiques Respecting a History of the English Army_ by Francis Grose Esq., London, 1801, p. 122.] One last thing, the oil bottle usually contained pine oil to lubricate the lock mechanism [Johann Jacob von Wallhausen, _Kriegskunst zu Fuß,_ Oppenheim, Johann Theodor de Bry, 1615].
