Let's see how Edmund Blackadder try to worm his way out of this one. Some pitiful excuse? Or set fire to another nunnery? :clown:

Just watched the programme covering the events on channel 4 here in the UK. Very good to see the facial re-contruction, turns out he was quite a handsome fellow. Although I didn't take much of a likeing to the Leicester uni osteoarchaeologist who put a pick axe through his skull! Turns out he had a pretty violent death as you would expect really in battle although his face was left relatively unscathed as to allow his identity to be known. Would also seem with damage to his pelvis that he was stabbed through the rear... a rather vicious violation of his corpse!

He looks remarkably similar to the pictographs of Jan-Otto "Fleshforward" Tørrisen
