Piers Brent - I found that account too but it is a dead end as well. So maybe there were two different "Knights of the Hare"; one English and one French(?) Regardless, both accounts imply that these Knights of the Hare collected quite a few legends/stories/tales but I cannot find a one. I...

In 1339 King Edward anxious to raise morale of the English army in France and facing Phillip's larger force came up with a cunning plan to spontaneously knight several squires and soldiers at the first sign of the French attack.

Crap is crap - plastic, metal, cloth or leather. Reward those who make an effort - often and in public. Give bigger props to those who do it well. And it doesn't need to be an official kingdom award. Give the guy who looks the part the primo sport in the unit. Put THEM in the high-profile tourney. ...

Physically I seem to have gotten off easy with a few flattened fingers mostly from hockey glove days (don't trust hockey gloves). Money - oh my a bunch. Now every event starts with big time airfare.

Last posting you mentioned shipping:

" Event " I prefer wars, pas d'Armes , and other events that have people showing off at their best and with their best. My compliments to those worthy opponents who play hard when it counts. It cost several hundred dollars for me to go to any event so I want to get some bang for my buck. I...

I do not wear a placate myself but have made them and recommend them for lefties since they tend to get wacked there more.

I think Atlantia had the right of is. Royal whim to cover all exposed plastic. I am only sorry that more kingdoms (including mine) have not adopted it.

First, let's make sure that we are talking about the same helmet; the wide brimmed civil defense looking helmet? If so, I have a descent looking one with the German style "nasal" on one side. It is just a helmet and NOT for SCA fighting. I would be more interested in barter than cash. If t...
