And have a vintage stench as well as patina. :o

Yep. Something to do with uric acid causing metal to rust quickly.

I had an idea back when we first started talking about an Order, or rather, when Sir Edward did, that maybe our 'squires' would be tasked with light duty assignments, sort of to put them in the 'mood', you know? Not take-home assignments per se, but while we're all together. Guess we'd need to do that bit first though, eh? :)

Templar Sergeant : http://www.flickr.com/photos/10072349@N05/6272726406/#
As a Templar sergeant, I am quite used to doing menial tasks for the knights of my Order, and as long as I am allowed the privilege of battle, I serve them willingly. "In 1130, Bernard of Clairvaux drew up the rules for the new Knights Templar order. Bernard set up the order with two main classes of knighthood, the knights and sergeants or serving brethren. Sergeants or serving brothers wore a black or brown mantle to show their lower status, whilst the Knights wore a red cross granted by Pope Eugenius III. Married men who joined the order could only join as sergeants, their property coming into the possession of the Order rather than to their wives upon their death."

While you gentlemen are not Templars, you are still noble and if we are ever able to spend more than the usual few minutes at Faire together (perhaps at Pennsic next year?), I would be happy to take on the servant's role. - As long as I get to FIGHT! ;D
Sir James A:
Oh, the many, many hours I could entertain you with cleaning...
Nice excerpt. I wonder where they pulled it from?
Lord Dane:
Very interesting Silvanus. I enjoy reading your posts. Hope I can meet you next outing. Templars always peek my interest. :)
