Chop, Chop, Splash, Splash, Oh, What A Good Grief It Is

"Duel" by Herr D on heromachine.

Shelob? You on?
Yes.

Do you really just lurk for me 24/7?
No. italicsbot usually notifies of you coming online.

Right. Okay, well, I decided to have some fun 'cause I needed a break. I found something for you.
Last link?

[sharp intake of breath] No. That would be two links ago or last link of last online session.

Yeah! Medieval weapons against zombies!
 You have assured me that zombies aren't real.

Yeah, but that's not the point! I can give you a review of his work and point out a newsworthy relevance.
 Please continue. 

Shad of Shadiversity has some interesting and apparently well-informed things to say on the subject of medieval times and how it may relate to other subjects. His style may be a bit rambling and too technical for non-enthusiasts or people who don't look up words they don't know, but his content is good. Should I summarize?
Please--SPOILERS BELOW UNTIL ALL CAPS IN LIKE MANNER TO THIS LINE.

Uh, thank you. He says he'll discuss weapons, but does more. He says 'castles' but really, any structure that wasn't a peasant's hovel was probably a battlement compared to your standard drywall flimsy or trailer park or frankenmansion built today. He correctly points out that everyone had suitable melee weapons and crude but possibly sufficient armor. He even points out that civilians weren't civilians by today's standards and that a zombie apocalypse would have been just a zombie nuisance. I could be more entertaining with the same content. He does explain his view on why archery and maces wouldn't have been as helpful as several specific kinds of swords. He largely left off polearms, staffs, axes, and morningstars. Not sure why. I WOULD like any specific info he has on how long spikes on morningstars would be and more details on the other weapons.

That's it, Shelob.

Example of you being more entertaining?

[notable pause] 

{EDWARD, 20s PEASANT FARMER, IS HOEING AS MICHAEL, 40s PEASANT, ENTERS BREATHLESSLY CARRYING AN ANGRY CHICKEN.}
 EDWARD! I have just come from the market. I hope you are well?

I am, Michael. How fare you?

Unfortunately, I have had to abandon my pack.

The chicken you hold does not appear heavy.

{tying a leg to a fencepost} I had to leave the vegetables behind. Some dead highwaymen approach. Might I borrow your old falchion? I have a dagger and wouldn't trouble you if there were but five.

How many, pray?

A round dozen, mayhap fourteen.

Michael, you are kin to me! Take the old falchion, and I shall accompany you with my new one. Let us set to at the old stable foundation. The rock wall will give us advantage. You say highwaymen. Were they a merry bunch? 

Some DO hold wineskins. But they are toothsome as ever, if biting rather than laughing.

Don't slash the wineskins, man! We'll need strong drink for the village feast drawing nigh, and I've no coin to spare! {exeunt}
Agreed, that does appear to be more entertaining than his attempt.
SPOILERS OVER NOW
What were the modern relevancies?

Medieval times had quarantine procedures. Some twelfth century peasants were more prepared EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS AGO THAN WE WERE FOR CORONAVIRUS.
The twelfth century would have been nine hundred and twenty to eight hundred and twenty years ago.

[huff] Right. Sorry. Gotta go.
