I'm a firefighter in a metropolitan department, and we normally get along quite well with PD if we happen to run into each other on calls. What's your relationship like with the fire side? Any pet peeves?

Thanks for the reply! What was the quality of the steel? I've heard that the middle east had much more advanced smelting techniques during these times and therefore was able to craft a stronger and more flexible blade.

Were there any renowned smiths during this time that created swords that were above and beyond the quality of the average smith? Like if their swords were watches they'd be a Rolex?

Awesome, thanks again for the quick and detailed reply! I find this kind of stuff fascinating so I have a lot of questions. Last one! How does the physical strength, stamina and cardiovascular endurance of the average modern human compare to that of its medieval counterpart? Obviously we lead very different day-to-day lives and and have a much different diet, so I'm wondering if that could be a significant factor in any differences.

How long would the average modern-day person live if they suddenly found themselves in medieval Europe in a populated area?
