Pseudo??

One of the signature elements of a sallet is the tail. Yours doesn't have much if any tail.

Yea, follows the rather traditional idea. It makes one wonder how the inflation and greater accessibility to wealth following the great plague impacted the system. I guess one more question for the future. Not sure if I told you or not but my paper went bust cause I just didn't care enough to get it...

What is the source for the change in Henry VI's reign.

And how could you not list Powicke's Military Obligation in Medieval England.

Karen wonderful collection as always, while there are no combat barriers in them your right that the fences around the lists are of similar construction. For some reason I can't seem to find one being used in combat at the moment. If you look carefully at the Dream of Pope Sergius by van der Weyden ...

Photos of modern ones or images of medieval paintings of them. Actual paintings of medieval ones are going to be barriers used to protect gates. Barriers don't appear to be planned parts of events until the very end of the 15th century so you begin to see them illustrated free standing in the 16th c...

Except that its 15th century.

Not an SCA answer but a more period one in 15th century shields you often find things other then straight heraldry on shields.

Thanks guys when I ran the search on WorldCat it only showed it in Pennsylvania and Yale not in Berkley I'll see what I can do about getting that. Unfortunately my local library can't do inter Library loans may be I can go to the county and see if they can. There were two entries. I don't know why ...

Medieval diets sometimes changed radically over time. I'm not really sure my own personal or in general the meat/grain ratio today but in England from the 13th century to the 15th century there was a significant move to more meat. What evidence do you have for people using human feces as fertilizer?

^

With all questions of historical research you have to start off with when and where. Late medieval practice tends to be more acquire what can be had locally, I can't remember the name of the feudal practice its based on. After that meat whenever possible seems to have transported on the hoof and the...

You can get decent galvanized strapping thats between 22 and 23 gauge I believe at Lowes that is like 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" Its high tensile as it is used to strap mobile homes to the ground.

Having done the cost/benefit analysis I am going to have to definitely bow out. Ironically my week off is still set for Lillies War.

Yea cause Russ in a Gates of Hell might be scary.

Do the two bycockets listed in howard accounts fit that idea.

Interestingly enough, their captain had an armet, which he wore with a brigandine, in another painting, Any idea which image. I only know of two and it wasn't in either of those. which matches well with the Cely letters describing one of the Cely brothers harness as having a brigandine, with plate ...

I am still trying to decide how to best spend my money at the moment. You might get a better response by starting a new thread.

Atleast they had the decency to turn the box inside out. I see boxes every day working at UPS that are USPS priority service boxes that aren't turned inside out.

I think that for many of us here our interest is more as a way to get information out in a usable systematic way as opposed to a way to really make a living. I think the money is more like hobby cash then a serious income.

More input is very welcome.

Does anyone have any experiences with Self Publishing companies like Lulu or booksurge or similar companies.

It's an excuse for you to act like a shithead, which you have done in every single thread I have ever read in which you commented. Excuse it as "logical thinking" or whatever you want, but in reality, it's the fact you are totally uncivilized and unable to interact with humans. While I'm ...

Brent, it is not in my nature to engage in discourse with those who evoke anger. Woe is me. John you sound like the kids on American Idol who get flustered by Simon Cowell. Tracy Ullman had something very poignant to say on this. She said he isn't mean he's just honest. If you seek compliments and ...

Indeed. Here in France, everything costs more, but I'd argue people have a higher standard of living. They don't have big houses and big cars and they pay through the nose for petrol, but on the other hand, they don't commute four hours a day from the suburbs, but live in nice city apartments, comm...

As much as I like Dyer on mills, that whole school of economic history is not immune to critique. For starters, the sources don't exist for every area. For another thing, they work within a subtly Marxist framework in the way they pose their questions. And, of course, they limit themselves to Engla...

The main problem is insufficient data. The data on prices we have are such a spotty, crazy quilt of different locations and times, that it's impossible to have even a snapshot of one place and time, and if you did, it would only be good for understanding cost of living in that place and time. And t...

Counting in base 12 if you can count in it can you do addition, subtraction and multiplication. I had a day in one of my computer science classes where for about 1 hour I knew how to do multiplication with roman numerals. I'm guessing he probably wouldn't have been doing much multiplication, but it...

I want to know where I can get a gallon of ale for $4. John is right such tables are of little worth. Although it might be interesting to look at if you had both the inflated medieval price next to the actual modern price. That would atleast give something interesting to look at but raw inflation da...

Our group regularly passed up opportunities to go to local events until we were pleased with our level of equipment. I think if I had a group much more locally that I would have less of a question. The people I've been close to re-enactment wise have always been basically too spread out to successf...

Given that it's you, Peder, the question is whether to be mildly disappointed with smaller events that you don't expect much from, or an event for which you have massive expectations which will likely result in massive disappointment. You know I try and try to reduce my expectations and I do and th...

I am often faced with the choice of going to an event or investing in books and kit and have been for years as I am sure most people who have limited budgets do. Which puts forward the question, which ends up having more value the experiences had at an event or the building up of material things for...

Now all you need to do is to give up late-14th century and go to the mid-late 15th century.
