My father needs "everything about wrestling" for the 3rd part of that novel about XVI c.. I've finished translating some passages from Gerald W. Morton & George M. O'Brien, Wrestling To Rasslin: Ancient Sport to American Spectacle. Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1985. ISBN: 0-87972-323-8
Some words were really stubborn. I don't like footnotes and avoid them by all means, so, luckily, the translation was "for internal use" - for my father, "who understands"
, so I've pointed to the two sentences on the same page:
"The farmers of Britany regularly practiced wrestling and jousting on
Sunday afternoons.
and then
"It is recorded that during a truce in 1402, international games were held between the warring (French/English) parties in jousting, battle-ax contests and wrestling.
I'm still puzzled, if the farmers had the same munitions as the king's retinue, so they could practice jousting? Lumi, thank for help!
