Yep, seen it before. Decent reference, and whenever I get around to that timeframe, I'll be using a few ideas from there.

I just found that yesterday, and I thought it was quite good at getting it down to the basics.  They seem like a pretty good group, albeit a bit cynical to American sword manufacturers because all we do is SCA and Ren-faire...  :-[  too bad the person who wrote that forgot to mention how good Albion is  ::)

I joined their forums yesterday, but after reading posts like that, I'm just enjoying it for seeing what others are doing for their impressions and kits.  They do have a pretty good resource though for interpretation.

Funny you should mention that site as I was on it earlier today; I prefer this one w/regard to 12th/13th C ideas.  One caveat- it is written mostly in French, of which I have but rudimentary understanding, but there you have it.

Three cheers for Sir William!

http://www.bouvines1214.org/  is a wonderful resource.  Good thing too is Google Chrome as a web browser, I'm not sure of the others, but its translator does an ok job  :D  "round riveted mesh" aside, it translates ok. 

Very very cool resource!

I think pictures are due for this site to not be banned  ;D




beyond that, I love how they spell out everything required to look that good.  It's really amazing.  It also helps my lady can read, sort of, French  ;)

Seconded.

But another kit is never a bad idea!

google chrome has a fairly good translator, beyond that, even just the pictures are a great inspiration.
