Who’d have thought? An obituary for Heath Ledger in Middle English! Well, for a character he played. Doffing the hat to Quatrefoil, who writes, “Whoever writes this blog is frequently side-splittingly funny, but he or she can write (and knows their Middle English passing well). I am filled with wonder and envy.”

how the hell can one tell this is for Heath??? (or did i et the wrong links.. .again…)
@Bernard: Because Quatrefoil said so, and she’s clever.
Or, as Wikipedia reveals, Heath Ledger played the character Sir William Thatcher / Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland in the film A Knight’s Tale.
ah; that now makes sense!
being an anti-movie-phile is hard work, but someone has to.
I don’t think i have ever seen any of the late Mr Ledger’s work. Unless it was many years ago when I did watch commercial television.
However, now that I am about to purchase some spectacles, that may well change.
I digress..
The first 3 times I tried to read this, I think that my lips were moving, but once I “blunked” it read quite naturally.
Unfortunately, I “blunked” again, and it is again looking like umm, well, Muddle Inglush.
I’ve added a translation to my link page.
