Sep. 6th, 2011 02:27 pmI have just spent the last two hours looking at the Beast and Medieval French and English legal systems. Making them make sense. Hah! Katrin was very gentle in pointing out that I had talked about eyres without actually talking about what they were or what they did or, in fact, itinerant judges at all. I was thinking of suggesting that the whole chapter be renamed "The Eyre Affair" as a consequence. I repented and have resolved to take a break. A nice big cuppa is in order, and then some cookbookery stuff. After that I need to finish prep for class tonight and to locate my Malleus Malleficarum (I already have my Alice Kyteler trial record and my Blanis book and, indeed, have already made the all-important de Drede joke) and other stuff.
This means, I think, that I'm free of the Beast until 9 pm, for I also have to do work on the dissertation thingie and read books and... thank goodness for long bus trips.
Tea. I so need tea. Much, much hot tea.
PS The missing package from Leeds has come, very mysteriously, two weeks after the ones sent at the same time. Medieval mariners! Pilgrims! Triads! Boeves de Hamtone! Troilus and Criseyde in Spanish! Only the University of Wales books to arrive and then I'm done. I'm so very happy!
