Greetings from Alabamashire
« on: 2014-01-02, 17:23:15 »
Thanks for adding me to this forum.  I'm a long time living history buff, but new to the Medieval era.  When I found out about the Days of Knights living history event, I felt it was time to take the plunge into this time frame.  I started out with an archer's impression, but was warned by my DOK friends about "Impression Creep."  Yes indeed, my impression has crept and now I'm putting together a late 13th - early 14th century knight's impression.  I've chosen this time frame because of family connections to several famous knights of that era.  I hope to learn much from this auspicious crowd!

Welcome to the forum!

That's one of my favorite eras as well. I love the whole great-helm time period.

Hail and well met!  You've come to the right place for kit advice. Be warned though, we like to live vicariously through each other's wallets!

Mark,  so you've got 1415, and now 1320ish underway... have we told you about how nice 1380 is this time of year?  And if you're feeling particularly heavy in the wallet, 1475 is beautiful right about now... :)
