Days of Knights

--- Quote from: James Anderson III on 2012-10-17, 16:49:40 ---That guy's camp was staggering. I peeked through the tent from outside, he said come in, and I asked if I could sit down .. not because I was in harness, but because the whole thing was truly staggering. That axe is "only" about 700 years old. There was a roman spatha in there that was from ~700AD - so, about 1,300 years old! We fondled it, I mean, handled it, without gloves too.
Those are great looks to describe it.

I guess that is one way to get a hold or make your mark on history. Fingerprints. :) Wonder how many men that axe has cut down. Hmmmm.... Looks like you guys had a great time!!
Sir Wolf:
HAH

Dan Peterson? he is the reason we have deepeeka armor and such. he has been involved in various medieval groups and has written a few books. he has worked in several museums and such. a really great guy that you could pick his brain for hours on end ;) very humbling once you realize you met a historical giant of our time hehehe

Yep. I saw the Sigismund of Tyrol replica and he said it was the original they built all the others from when he went down there to show them how to make it. He had another harness and a few other sallets there too. He spent 20 years in Europe / Germany, found some of the artifacts himself, he painted his tent himself as a replica of a period Burgundian design, and is most into the Roman era stuff (that he wrote a few books on). He's an awesome guy, I spent probably 45 mins to an hour down there just chatting with him - when I wasn't ogling everything.

Sir Edward:
The official word from Nicky Hughes (organizer for the event) about next year:
--- Quote ---I have just been informed that there will be no Days of Knights in Frankfort in 2013. Maybe sometime in the future - maybe - but not next year. So, let's treat the event as Mr. Brunette suggested last Saturday evening - as "one brief shining moment - Camelot."

So... it's either done, or it'll happen in a future year, or it will have to be someplace else.
