Do you guys plan on renting out space for all the excess that comes with being a medieval history & collectibles junkee or are you just going to do what I do...let your wife complain about all the crap constantly cluttering the apartment & promise to put stuff away??   ;D LOL

You could always remove the wife.

lol, I kid, I kid....

The wife might take offense at being called clutter Sir James. :)

Wasn't a label I gave her. :) Just said it's an option to remove the wife. Mine never complained about the clutter, since she had an equal amount of clutter, except in clothing and shoes... ;)

Bingo!  Same situation as me...but then, I don't have the amount of 'clutter' that you possess Sir James...at least, not yet.  ;)

Believe me, when you see my house, you'll understand why it's more like a museum with all the helmets, shield, etc. I had to stop cause I ran out of room. That's also why I want to keep the members of the group at 5 for my knighting...due to my house being a clutter of the medieval. Also...if you're looking for "good housekeeping" forget it. I do the bare minimum since my wife passed away. I'm still having a very hard time being all alone.

Some of the knights I did were from stories and not real knights. I do plan to add more on my favorite: Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein. I have really dug into research and found out a lot more detail.

Sir John,
Just a thought....
Any thoughts on Sir Robert Pembridge as a potential "Knight of the Week?" :) After all, he's inspired such a nice helmet that adorns my melon when fighting.

Lord Dane,

My knight of the week not only included his history, but also his helmet, a surcoat and a shield. I have no more room for any more...that's why I stopped. Feel free to do research on your own.

It seems I would like to take up the gauntlet on this one.

Sir John:  We understand and if you wish I can step in a write posts for Knights in History and Literature.  My focus in the History department is the Hundred Years War and I might add a couple of Knights in the Renaissance. 

The Literature is going to be an exploration of how Chivalry lived in novels that we recognize from popular culture.  The novels will include regular Medieval and Renaissance Literature but also a couple of stories that have been adapted into Hollywood films.  The idea is to show examples of Chivalry in different lenses of perspective, they will be posted on my facebook and I will post the links here.  If there are issues, I will post the topics here. 

What say ye Brethren?

Sir Joshua, you should create a separate thread and do it from there.

Yep, a separate thread would be ideal.

Alright, will do so.  I think I will call it "Chivalry of the Week" or does someone have a better idea than me?

Sounds good to me...that will allow me to continue with some things I still have in mind. Sorry I haven't posted lately, but I had a virus for 2 weeks, which now has turned into a sinus infection, so will be resting more this week.
