A memorial to John Chandos is on the D25 just south of the N147 and west of Lussac-les-Châteaux
The Royal Armouries collection has the "Chandos" helm, this may be associated with Herefordshire as it is thought to have been made for Pembridge's contemporary, Sir John Chandos of Snodhill Castle.

Chandos has appeared in several mediums of modern media: in the 1955 Errol Flynn film “The Dark Avenger” also known as The Warriors”, in the video game called bladestorm where he acts as an advisor to the Black Prince and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has two books with Chandos as a recurring character; The Whyte Company and Sir Nigel.

Construction of an underground parking lot in a Barcelona neighborhood that was under the sea in the middle ages has uncovered a ship that sank, according to archaeologists supervising the site, in the 13th or 14th century. The ship's remains are at some 7 meters (23 feet) below sea level, where construction workers found the upside-down wooden hull of a ship that capsized and sank off what was then the coast of the Catalonian capital. Experts say that the ship's design indicates that it came from somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean.

EVENTS

• Gen Con Oz has been and gone but you can always check it out next year as I hear it was a success and is penned in for September next year rather than July.

• The Abbey Medieval Festival has been and gone. It attracted an estimated 17 000 visitors this year and if you are interested in seeing some pics of the event head on over to abbeypics.com to see some photgraphy by Mark Greenmantle and his team. Great shots abound showcasing the reenactors and performers who attend. If you missed out this time around then start planning for next year. It will be the 20^th annivesary of the event and it promises to be huge. It will be on during 4^th of July until the 12^th with the two day tournament itself being on the 10^th and 11^th of July. I hope to see you all there!

• Aaron from New York State in the USA sent me an email to tell us all about his favorite festival in the Northeast USA. http://sterlingfestival.com/ This festival runs on weekends from July 12th-August 17th. I do apologize to you Aaron for not getting details of this event up on the podcast until after the commencement of the event itself.

This is the re-edit of Ep#3 with the terrible pause, belch and mucked up dialogue removed! Terribly sorry about that if you heard the first version. Although I had a giggle at my idiocy I am sure many others did not. The idiocy at the end of the show however is intentional!
