    if I may indulge in a little pedantry I think you'll find bartering does not entail the exchange of currency :p

    it's more like Noel Edmonds' Swap Shop :D

    (plutonium is an expert on Noel Edmonds if you need further clarification)

    I was aware (not of the Noel Edmonds part though, so thnx :D), I actually ment I can't barter because I insist on trading stuff by using my florins (a common medieval currency).

    Forsooth,Sirrah! T'is an offerance of insult thou dos't make!
    A single groat,in ofference of this,a mighty and,indeed magical device!

    Why,t'is said Arture,King of Camelot,dids't engage with the magical spirit within such a thing-and thou offerest merely a single GROAT!?

    Begone,foul pestilence,and be not casting shadows before mine presence again!

    It's the evil wizardry of time travelling! But there can be many black knights surely. If one dies for example :p but no, even at the same time. When I hear black knight I think of course of Edward, the black prince who ravaged and plundered the french for glory and most likely died of diarrhea (which makes me think: perhaps he got his nickname because of that? :D) before he could become king of England.

    'That black name of Edward, Black Prince of Wales' Shakespeare Henry v.

    I read that one theory about the name is that he reputedly wore black armour at the Battle of Crecy.

    But if you want to trade your goats with me, you'll have to take bitcoin.
