Each year a reenactment of this medievally celebrated encounter is put on at The Pennsic War, a gathering of nearly 10,000 historical reenactors and enthusiasts in Slippery Rock, Penn., just north of Pittsburgh. There is a certain amount of prestige in being part of the Combat Of The Thirty reenactment: Only a select few (60 maximum!) participants are chosen, and each makes a commitment to appearing in the most authentic 14th century armor possible. Like show host Scott Farrell, Prof. Muhlberger has taken part in this event in years past, and he joins Scott to compare the reenacted Combat with its historical counterpart, and to discuss how the notion of chivalry works into both the medieval and the modern deed of arms.<br> <br> * Buy <a href="http://amzn.to/1OcNC6U" target="_blank" rel="gb_page_center[800,480]">Deed Of Arms</a> by Prof. Steven Muhlberger;<br> * Read Prof. Muhlberger’s blog, <a title="Muhlberger's World History" href="http://smuhlberger.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Muhlberger’s World History</a><br> * See more <a title="Angelsey Photo Gallery of the Combat of the..."></a>
