Title: Greetings from Denmark
Post by: Sir Sondergaard on 2015-04-07, 20:17:54
Greetings to you sirs....

My name is Kim (and in Denmark its a male name), and I am an old geezer born in `63...

I have allways been interested in history, especially the medieval period. Allways enjoyed to visit the many mansions and castles we have here in Denmark.
I just started last year to participate in medieval fairs, so I am not quite finished with my kits yet. Its very close though, and in a couple of weeks when my new tent arrive, me and my friend/fellow knight Sir Smith, will get some pics taken.

We have a small combat group (still only the two of us) called In Genio et Armis, where we fight SCA style, not LARP, and not BOTN.... 

For now I`ll show you a couple of pics, where you can see parts of my kits. Just tonight my new surcoat were actually finished (no pics yet), in my livery.....

well, for now these will have to do  :)

Welcome Sir Sondergaard,

There are geezers here older than yourself!
I had a wonderful one day visit to Denmark a couple of years ago. I hope to return and spend more time there.

In my neck of the woods we have mine shafts from the Comstock Silver Rush & the California Gold Rush of the 19th century that sometimes eat tourists & the unwary. Does that count?   ;D

Well met, Kim.  It's a guy's name here too.  ;)

Denmark is one of the countries my wife and I want to visit; beautiful just from pictures I've seen.  And you have a reigning Queen, do you not?  Awesome.

Thank you all  :)

Indeed Sir William, Denmark is a kingdom with a reigning queen. If I remember correct, the oldest kingdom there is. Both Denmark, Sweeden and Norway was under the danish king, back in the viking days... Oh, and it was not Colombus who discovered America, we were there 500 years earlier, and we did not commit genocide....

If any of you wants to visit Denmark, I would like to meet up, and I´ll show you some danish hospitality.  :D

Your ancestors sure were here first and they ended up having the same problem as George Armstrong Custer, too many pissed off Indians!  ;)
