Well, there when my budget for this month...another Osprey book I have to have....

I like the put it in a tube around your neck with "Epi Pen" written on it. Can't say for sure that I will be around all the time but I at least will know and we can make sure that the Caer Mear guys all know...

That's funny..you can see my shield just to the left of your polearm...

I am wearing greaves in my picture....they are black leather on black pants so you cant see them well but they are there. (as well as my Atlantian leather shoe covers...)

They are more noticable on this thread:

And this is my Lady, Melisent, tho she has changed her blazon, so not to be confused as "The Bride of Halvorc!":

Informal, I know, but that is me getting worked on prior to Crown tourney. My blazon is in the corner of the picture...

Fight in this tourney if you are a squire. It is a great honor, and the fighting is excellent. I cherish my memories of fighting in it as well...

BdeB

And Bryce, I see a lot of posts on the Archive with your name. Shouldn't you be out whacking someone instead of typing? I'm not getting out much this summer but I'll be at Pennsic for sure. See you there Noble Sir Johann, It's true that i'm lurking around here an awful lot these days, but not so mu...

I don't know, Melisent, do you say that?!?!

Bedlam,

Aw shucks, everybody knows that you guys are all sweetiness and light!

Rizzle Frazzle 14c grrrrr

BdeB

I think Sir Dagonet should fight with a greatsword named "Youth"...

Sigh...

And thus, the 14c Mafia claims another victem....

(Not that there is anything wrong with the good Master Eldred's work, mind you...)

Jeebus. This allegorical company thing is gaining momentum. Tristam von Schwarzwald (Lor' bless an' keep 'im) wants to join us with a greatsword named "Truth". I told him it would be funnier if Truth were a warhammer. Bryce, you should fight two-sword and join us if you're going to be Humilitie. Be...

Good grief, William! What the heck do you do for a living?!?! If you are ever in the mood to drop a grand on someone, give me a call!!!

BdeB

Espcailly since the King of Scotland was a vassal of the Angevin kings of England. In all honesty, dress as would a French or Englishman would at the time and you would be most correct. After all, we are (at least the majority of us) playing at being a part of a noble court, not peasents. If you wer...

Unless your in Richmond- Then everyone knows how to fight lefties. Ho, Ho Sir Johann, well met! It's been too long... Wrong handed fighters have, for certes been a plague on the fine Barony of Caer Mear and it's neighbor Tir-Y-Don for several years now! Someone unforunatly forgot to break thier lef...

BdeB

You can do that without a thrusting point too...just position the tip in front of thier face...they hate that... Yes, I have a thrusting tip on my greatsword - I don't believe in using a sword without a thrusting tip! I don't keep my tip lowered towards my opponant because of my style, however I do...

BdeB

Perhaps I will name one of my pennsic swords "Humility" and join you two for a while...

BdeB

This was said: and there is another knight...i'm blanking on his name...he and his lady are always so nice to me...crap! He is slender and has/had a shaved head... I racked my brain and the only one I could think of, in AEthelmearc that would be appropriate.. perhaps you are talking about Sir Alonz...

Duchess Luned, of course was huge inspiration for me from her first reign on. Likewise Countess Muirgen, my Pelican was during her time as queen. Baroness Thorja was the picture of grace as Baroness Caer Mear... Maybe it was because I was so young and impressionable but all the queens and princess w...

BdeB

Most gentlemen of arms that fight in the SCA remember a lady, be she Queen, Baroness, or simple lady that inspired them to great deeds once, or that seems to be worthy of encouraging great deeds from us on the field. I'm not referring to your Lady, the one you fight for, but to someone that you've s...

BdeB

Funny. I am from the east and thank you for proving my point. Heh. Actually that was a joke. I can drop names with the worst of them, but like Duke Alaric said, when I think think Kingdom, I am thinking fighters. I made the joke about you living in the East because you referred "Maunches" which is ...

BdeB

Sir Edmund Dracatorr, that's the one from Aethelmarc I forgot!!!!

Bear the Wallsbane also comes to mind...

Also from Northshield, his soon to be Majesty: Siegfried von Kulmbach

He lived here for a short while and was an outstanding fellow.

Aethelmarc:

Duke Morgan
Count Andrew
Sir Malcolm Heirn
Sir Finn
Duke Christopher of York
Confed

and there is another knight...i'm blanking on his name...he and his lady are always so nice to me...crap! He is slender and has/had a shaved head...

Northshield/Calontir: Duke Conn

Animal and James, I feel your pain. I caught to shots to the back of the hand/wrist fighting a lefty last night and it hurt like hell all night. Seems to be better today tho it sounds like rice crispies! Funny thing was that I pulled a muscle in my shoulder/neck early on and it wasn't a big deal at ...

Meridies:

Duke Garth
Duke John Bearkiller
and back home again, my friend, Sir Targon

BdeB

Dang. Nope, not this year....again. I haven't been to this event in ages, and buying a house last week doesn't help. FYI: I'll be at Tournement of Chivalry, Assessment Battles, and Last Chance Authorizations and then Pennsic! (Edited: You know it's been a long day when I misspell Pennsic! )

BdeB

Duke, duke, duke, duke, duke, duke, duke. How about non-fighters? A&S, service, laurels, maunches, You must be from the East... Well, you know, this is the Armour Archive, you would just suppose that folks would rattle off fighters first... OK then, how about a non-fighter list too... Formerly Aden...

BdeB

Who comes to mind when you think of, say, the East, or the Middle? Name say, three to five knights or fighters that you think of when you think of a place... For instance, when I think of the East Realm Duke Lucan, Duke Gregor, Count Ruscilon, Duke Andras, Sir Steffan and Sir Balin come to mind... F...

"PATHETIC!" (immediately followed by smack,smack smack).
MUCH better than "weak".

Actually Anton would jokingly say "Pitiful" when he was trying to get a rise out of you (and he knew you and you knew it was a joke)

Byram,
Anton's squire
