Ken Mondschein

Ken Mondschein imprinted on ‘80s sword-and-sorcery films and grew up to become a medieval historian, professional swordmaster, and jouster. (No, really.) He has adjuncted at most of the colleges and universities in Massachusetts and, despite having written many, many books and articles on things you care nothing about, still can’t get a tenure-track job. His website is kenmondschein.com.
