Well, it is 100 min of res fighting. Sides are divided in a way depending on how many show up. Often by unit, household, etc and then balanced. Sometimes by region. One year there was a tourney and the 2 winners were the captains who picked their sides. Field is usually a field, but there has been b...

just because there is no archeological evidence doesn't mean it wasn't so. One cannot prove a negative. Therefore, one must not attempt to use that as an argument to support baseless claims. ESPECIALLY since you are interested in living history, you need to understand that YOU will be looked on as ...

Cowboy-boots are made of snake skin. Does this mean all cowboy boots are made of snake skin? How about all boots in general? It's called "inductive reasoning". m I'm not attacking you, just pointing out that your method of research has flaws and is not serving you as well as it could.

No sir, more like trying to make the facts fit your theory, which is not science or research.

Gather the FACTS.
What you end up with is evidence.
Build your theory on this.

Otherwise, it is likely you have stumbled into fantasy.

That is called "speculation" and not "evidence". Lacking evidence, you should be looking for anything to discredit your theory. If you can find something, it was a bad theory. If you can't find anything to discredit it, keep looking. If you still can't you *might* be on to someth...

Everyone who fights in Crown should do it "for the Honor of possibly serving their Kingdom as It's Royalty."

If you don't intend to fight to win and fill those roles, you should not enter.
