  1.  @WanderingWriter  True. Most historiqns agree, based of contemporary accounts, that a major jousting accident was followed by negative changes in his behaviour and personality. Head injuries, and even planned neurosurgery, can lead to temporary or permanent changes in disposition. Had over a hundred neurosurgeries myself. Funny thing is you can be aware of the changes, yet unable to fight them.
