By the way...

If you are going to head out to the Sarnia groups practice... contact my squire Kasimir, before you go... he is the Group Marshal.

if he is not.... I would be .... I will email you ASAP.

I still have a few sets.... but as Jamie said the pattern is being redone because the original pattern had a flaw that caused an infrequent, but still problem flaw

sarnac

I think unpadded poles are experimental.

how close are you to Windsor?

Our practice is Sunday evenings, and Detroit Practice is Sunday afternoon

Greetings All: I am inspired by what His Royal Highness, Brannos of the Middle, has posted about not being obsessed by some number of fights as a measure of achievement, but rather striving to go beyond one's limits. Therefore, on the field at Pennsic 2005, I shall face all challengers from sunset ...

Sure.....pick on the guy that just complimented you......nice.

I bought two copies. One for each Squire. I read it over the last two days. Brilliant. It taught me so much more about being a Knight that I never considered. It showed me where my failings are and where I need to strive harder to be a good Knight. It also showed me the right way bring more out of a...

sarnac

By far....even more than being Knighted....

was Crowning my good Lady Wife Queen in front of God and all who were assembeld and taking a step back to bask in her beauty and grace.

sarnac

actually I have all the details worked out..... I just need the actual date of tourney to be finalized and I can set everything in stone.

I will keep the resident denizens informed.

sarnac

Contacted privately....

I think the period leas portrayed is the Late Crusasdes era.

the armour is too expensive to do properly for the SCA and most dont like fighting in closed face helmets.

sarnac

how much for the barbute???

sarnac

I would also speak to you, Sir Vitus on the conduct and courtesy of your Squire Jehan, whom I was honoured to meet and speak with this Weekend past. He is the epitome of everything a noble man at arms should be.... In speech, deed and bearing. Best to you noble Knight, God keep you and yours. Sarnac

arms? armour? culture?

sarnac

or culture for that matter...

I'm on a fact finding mission

sarnac

when I was on business in Philly... he and Cet came by to see me at the Hotel and he said they lived just over the bridge in New Jersey.

sarnac

hence the reason I am looking for a set of knees to go with the elbows you were making me Samuel!!!

It is VERY spiffy.

Thanks for the links and info...

sarnac

Damn...Are you sure??? I always thought there was a late 14th century effigy that showed them.... and now... i cant remember where i saw it.... Crap.... oh well back to the drawing board.... Hey....Just as an aside... what would be the proper leg defense to go with a set of roundel arms? Soupcan sty...

sarnac

Looking for roundel knees...prefer 5 pc. with dished roundel.

anyone make these?

sarnac

I would love to see a leaf blade form that you could add to a pole and then form the thrusting tip to look like a real leaf blade spear

Even though Mid Coronation is this weekend, Prince Felix is encouraging people to go to Baron Wars.

I first authorized in 1980 or so, but haven't fought for.. Oh, Lordy, about six or eight years.

Effingham

2 years or less from PRIMARY authorization...

sarnac

Sweet!!!

Thorson won Crown!!!

I get so stoked to see friends on foreign thrones!!!

Freya, his mom, must be so damn proud.

It couldnt happen to a nicer guy.

Good luck to them.

sarnac

Bjorn,

While I sympathize...If I make an exception for ANYONE, not just you...but ANYONE...then I have to make exceptions for EVERYONE...

No... the rules, as written say Two years to the day... and that is what I will be using.

I really am sorry....

sarnac

will you be authorized less than two years and be authorized in Bastard sword by then?

If the answer to those two questions is "yes"...then you can.

sarnac

Primary Authorization will have been two years or less to the day...

No Squires (they have their own tourney thanks to the dedication of our own Duke Logan)

and no one who is a royal peer by their own hand (just in case)

sarnac

Why dont these motivated new fighters come test their mettle at the Known World Novice Tourney to be held this Pennsic?

Then the answer will be put to rest....

for this year...

sarnac

I have scheduled the Tourney and I am waiting for confirmation of the date. If you pledged a prize... I know Cet, and Sir Markus Hammerhand had said they were willing to contribute... or wish to pledge a prize... please contact me off list at sarnac-kir (at) cogeco.ca I know Sir Brannos from the Mid...

I'm curious about how these two suggestions are supposed to fix the perceived problems of CA. 1.) Archers firing from fixed positions. There is plenty of evidence for archers roaming around and not just volley fire. People tend to forget that we cover more than just a narrow slip of time here. By h...

sarnac

Usually at the same site.....

traditionally the Middle holds its Kingdom A&S compettion the same long weekend as Crown ( may 30th) with the A&S on Sat. and the Tourney on Sunday.
