I might only make it on the 15th, but I'm not sure yet. Still depends on how things are looking at work.

I meant to make it last week and couldn't get out the door...I have a wedding to attend on the 16th so if I do come, it'd be on the 15th, but that's not set in stone.

I got a call today from the seamstress and my surcoat would not be done in time for the 16th. Between my many issues, Sir William's wedding attendance, and Sir Edward's unknown work requirement, it seems a very good thing that my ceremony is postponed since that would mean 2 of the only 3 knights would likely not be attending. :)

Tentative date is now be the same day as Sir Nathan's (Nov 19th) and the same, or at least same town, location.

I think I'll be in attendance the 16th, with my lady hopefully  :)
Sir James, I'll see if I can get that macehead handed off to you there.

Here is a photo our mutual friend Wayne took of us and posted on FB.  :)


I like Sean Hayes's comment on it on facebook. He said "Good Lord! It's Die Manessesche Liederhandschrift come to life!"

"Die Manessesche Liederhandschrift" is another name for Codex Manesse. I have a copy of that on order, and it should be here any day now. It was created around 1340, and is one of the main period sources of imagery we have that depicts great helms with large crests.

Here's a google search for Codex Manesse images:  www.google.com/search?q=codex+manesse&hl=en&prmd=imvnsb&tbm=isch

Oh SNAP...I think I just found the image I'm looking to style myself after!  Thanks, Sir Edward.

Thanks for the link, Sir Ed.
So just wondering, who will be armouring up, and what day? I'll be attending either day, (15th or 16th) in armour.
My lady will be in Attendance, and I'd like to show her that I'm not the only guy who does this  ;)

Excellent link Sir Edward! :)

Sir Nathan, I doubt it would matter even if that were so...but I must apologize in advance as I now know I will not be making it for either day.  You lot make sure to take pictures ok?

I'll only be there tomorrow (the 15th). I haven't decided if I'm armoring up. I might do armor light, or maybe pull out my mid-14th gear, I don't know. I have some faire newbies showing up tomorrow as well, and it's always easier to drag people around when wearing something more comfortable, but the armor always blows them away too.. :)

Well, as it turns out, my lady has a family obligation, so she can't make this weekend. She is going to try for closing weekend though.    I will be there, probably the 16th. In armour. I'll be wearing my new surcoat with the maille kit.

I'm doing 14th C. tomorrow (on the 15th). I'll have to catch you guys on closing weekend I guess.

Cool! I'll be there in armor light. I'll bring my hollow earth waster instead of my Maryland 'special' so we can have a little impromptu practice session! Oh and I’ll also bring your spurs so we can fit them properly to your feet for your upcoming ceremony! ;)

You can bring wooden swords in the faire?

And thanks Sir Brian!
I'll now go get some practice in for tomorrow!  :D
Sir James, will you be there as well?
