        "When the great marsh… is frozen, large numbers of the younger crowd go there to play about on the ice… they equip each of their feet with an animal's shin-bone, attaching it to the underside of their footwear"—William Fitzstephen on London, late 12th century.

        Medieval bone ice skates from Lincoln, perhaps used when the River Witham froze over :) Now in @collectionusher.pic.twitter.com/baTOW0LmCF

        I raise you with a 13th century ice skate crafted from horse bone inscribed with runes: 'iilliin'. This is interpreted as a version of the word 'ilin' with the meaning 'the sole of the foot'. Found 1979 in Tønsberg, Norway (C35127/TR5645) @Kulturhistoriskpic.twitter.com/aKSvQ257mU

        Hah! So it does! Wood or bone for the main bady? Assuming the former :)

        Wood! Originally bone, but with introduction of iron abt 1,000 years ago, switch to wood.

        I'm sure we generally have a quite wrong picture about these times. Sure, much was different, but there also was time to have fun, be silly and enjoy oneself... these are pretty cool.

        @HottestSingles Hottest singles in your area: bone skates clattering, sending up sprays of tiny ice shards like a mist of daggers, flaying skin, grinning against the vicious cold. Fa la la la la la la la la!
