Michael Edward Just (Mike) is a direct descendent of King Edward III of England & the Royal family of that era. King Edward III ruled from 1327 to 1377 and together with his legendary son Edward the “Black Prince” formed the Knights Order of the Garter and defeated the French in both the battle of Crecy and the battle of Poitiers. This ancestry led Mike to become very interested in the middle ages - to the extent that medieval sword fighting and tournament attendances became virtually a way of life during his time in Europe.
