Haha, that's a great quote! I remember reading The Song of Roland (in Middle English). There's no reason to suppose men regularly did just about *anything* in that story. I love how everyone is always cleaving things in two. Forget your regular stab or thrust, everything is always cloven in twain. Armor, helmet, head, horse? no problem, you'll have two in a moment.
