Terry was also a historian and I remember seeing his show on medieval lives. He brought his knowledge and humor along and made the topic rather interesting!

Terry Jones, who earned a spot in comedic lore as a member of the British troupe Monty Python and also had success as a director, screenwriter and author, died on Tuesday night at his home in the Highgate neighborhood of North London. He was 77.

Unfortunately, he wasn't as well known for his interest in history. His book "Medieval Lives" is a very readable account of life in the Middle Ages and well worth a look.

Status: offline 		Greetings to All,
My high school years were spent faithfully watching Monty Python on PBS and Rowan & Martin's Laugh In.
Absolutely loved Monty Python and the Holy Grail when I saw it at the drive in (remember those anyone?) twice.
Never laughed so hard when the knight went to slay the rabbit and the ruckus that followed.
And of course the "answer these questions three" at the bridge over the gorge.
So sad he is gone.

Terry Jones was a great talent and will be sadly missed.
