Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

in an earlier post I talked about my affiliation with ebay and how I was working on putting ebay items right on my website. I have completed this project -Although I may expand it.

If you are always on the hunt for a great bargain in the medieval genre you might want to check out these ebay stores. I have made it real easy for you to look at items in specific topics without ever leaving my site.

Here is what one of the integrated ebay pages looks like:

It’s a nice setup that lists items for you to scrolll through.

Check out the home page for my new medieval ebay stores here:

A web visitor passed me some interesting links that he thought I should take a look at. He was right, they are interesting! I am passing them along for you to look at.

Morgane’s Medieval Download Haven - Nice collection of screensavers, clip art and other medieval related art - Only for private use, not for publication to websites without express consent from them.

Raising a Modern Day Knight - really interesting site for fathers and sons . All about raising a boy to be a modern day knight. Not a fiction site, a parenting site. I really like this. They offer a comprehensive program.

Paladin Press - Home of the Action Library They have a best selling book entitled: Medieval Swordsmanship

Medieval Sword Resource site: Nice, no frills, no sell site with lots of information on swords.

http://www.mwart.com/ this site addresses the faire goers, collector, re-enactment people and the enthusiasts which is just about everybody (I think). $5 off first order if you sign up for email.

A big thankyou to my web visitor for sending me this stuff.

The Movie 300 has invigorated the interest in the high Roman times, gladiators, Spartans and similar things. I have put together an Amazon store with offerings of this kind.

 The store has these categories:

-Gladiator weapons and armor
-Roman and gladiator Movies
-Books on Historical Rome
-Books on Ancient Sparta
-Books about the Battle of Thermopylae

 If you want to learn more about this period of time and this flavor of combat check out my store here: The gladiator and Spartan Store

I talked in an earlier post extensively about the Spartans, the story of the 300 and the book I have read about it Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae  But the movie is actually based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller with the same name “300″.
