"But of course - though there were certain things, such as jousting, which were not permitted to be done left-handed."


I remember doing an old school project where my subject was medieval history back in 2000. I found a website with info on it, I'm sure the website is no longer available. It had this information on it:

Spiral staircases in medieval castles run clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties in climbing the stairs (The pillar in the middle of the staircase blocking their sword attacks). Left-handed knights would have had no troubles except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil. -Asty

If both parents are right handed can the child be left handed?

NO, the child would inherit the characteristics of both parents which will have the characteristics of the right handed, but they could if any of the parents families where left handed it can skip a generation and give it to the child. But mainly the child will inherit the characteristics of the right hand.
