[MR] Ancient Origins: Gotland Hires Knights to Enforce Social Distances

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

A few days ago several sites, including the BBC, carried this story, but it
was not where I usually look.

A group of re-enactor knights has been hired to enforce social distancing
on the popular Swedish tourist island of Gotland. Well, maybe enforce isn't
exactly the right term, as they are more about reminding people to be safe
during this time of plague. They are fully armed, however, and can look
awfully intimidating.

The story and several nice photos are at

Yours Aye,
