I loved this entry! The chanson de geste sound so interesting; one of these days I'll get off my ass and read some myself. There's nothing wrong with long newsletters.
As an aside - a while ago I saw you watched Chimes at Midnight and quite enjoyed it; Have you read Robert E. Howard's "Gates of Empire"? It's Howard's take on a Falstaff like character. It's pure comedy though - not emotionally effecting like Chimes, but a great read in my opinion.
I haven't read it. Aside from his masterpiece, "Worms of the Earth," I'm not a huge fan of Robert E Howard, but this sounds intriguing and I'll have to check it out.
