<hr />
<div>==Men==<br />
*[[Braes]] (loose [[linen]] underdraws) with a slit to allow urination. The slit was probably not [[lace]]d in our [[period]], just constructed in such a manner that it would stay overlapped unless pushed apart. A few [[13th Century]] illustrations show men pushing down their braes to defecate. It is likely that the majority of 12th C braes were similarly constructed. <br />
The [[braes]] contain a lot of fabric at the top which is rolled over a belt to create a padded roll low on the waist. The padded roll is said to help support the weight of belts placed over outer layers of clothing.<br />
*[[Hose]] (stockings) over that [[wool]] (generally) and most long and tied at the waist, but some only knee-high. Long hose were tied to the belt of the braes with points, short hose were held up with garters - either attached pieces of ribbon or separate tied or buckled strips.<br />
*[[Shirt]] - a [[linen]] [[tunic]], worn next to the skin. This absorbs the sweat from your body, protecting your tunic. It is generally [[white]] or natural linen coloured, as this [[clothing|garment]] was washed more often than the tunic, and linen could easily be naturally bleached back to white.<br />
<br />
==Women==<br />
*Most evidence indicates no underpants were worn. See [[12th Century Female Hygiene]] for details of how menstruation could be managed without underpants. The saying "who wore the pants in the family" seems to date to this early, and some stories recite instances of men impersonating women (e.g. for [[military]] reasons) being caught because when they ran the braes under their [[skirt]]s were noticed.<br />
*[[Hose]] - generally presumed to be knee-high, as braes are needed to tie longer hose to. We have little evidence for shape (no extant hose, above ankles not shown in pictures), but they are presumably the same as men's knee-high hose. The multiple layers of skirts ([[chemise]], tunic and in colder weather or outside possibly an extra tunic) would serve to keep the women's legs much warmer than the men with only one layer of fabric from a pair of hose, thus longer hose were not needed, and impractical when going to the toilet.<br />
*A natural/white [[linen]] [[chemise]]/shift served the same function as the man's shirt, but was generally floor length.<br />
*There are a few [[12th Century|12th C]] tests mentioning breast binding. The fashion was small firm breasts, and larger women who wished to be at the height of fashion wrapped their breasts with strips of linen to reduce their size.<br />
<br />
==less active men==<br />
*Occasionally some [[monk]]s and [[scholar]]s might not wear the braes and long hose. The practical advantages of the hose are mostly for [[riding]] and manual work. Monks generally wore floor-length habits, so like for the women, long hose and braes become superfluous. They probably wore short hose (except asthetics who went barefoot) and no underpants.<br />
*Clerical [[alb]]s are similar to the chemise and shirt - a linen undergarment, in this case often close to floor length.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Cloaks''' come in several varieties. <br />
* [[full circle cloak]]s<br />
* three-quarter circle cloaks<br />
* Mantles or [[half circle cloak]]s<br />
* [[brat]]s or [[rectangular cloak]]s <br />
<br />
They keep the rain off and provide some protection form the cold. A good [[wool]]en cloak, even without [[waterproofing]], can take a long time to soak through, and can be easily discarded when you go indoors. However an extra [[undertunic]] (thermals suffice until you can make enough) is often warmer, as cloaks blow open. Some [[tabard]]s and [[surcoat]]s (especially [[fur]]-lined ones) are also good [[clothing|garment]]s to wear for warmth.<br />
<br />
In [[period]], cloaks had separate [[hood]]s more often than not.<br />
<br />
Cloaks can also be used as picnic blankets, bedrolls and full circle cloaks can be large enough to shelter a friend too.<br />
<br />
== Materials ==<br />
Cloaks generally take a lot of [[fabric]]. Although other fabrics work, [[wool]] is a great fabric, and a cheap source of large lengths of pure wool is op-shops/thrift stores/charity stores where blankets sell for generally about half the price of the cheapest wools, and can somtimes even be found in matched pairs for the larger cloak.<br />
<br />
Remember that many cloaks were worn to keep the wearer warm and dry. [[Fur]]s are warmest as a [[lining]], rather than on the outside (although in some cases fur on the outside might be symbolic). [[Velvet]] wasn't invented till middle [[period]], and was an expensive fabric mainly used for [[court]] garments and furnishings, and shiny crushed [[velveteen]] synthetic fabric will mark you as a [[newcomer]] (but if you are, you'll be nice and warm still).<br />
<br />
== Making cloaks ==<br />
Cloaks range from very simple to make to moderately hard.<br />
Some early period "[[rectangular cloak]]s" are basically draped blankets and can be made with no sewing. Also [[poncho]]-like cloaks, requiring little sewing, were worn, chiefly by women at this time.<br />
<br />
As time progresses, [[full circle cloak]]s and [[half circle cloak]]s developed. Late in period some [[fitted cloak]]s developed.<br />

[[category:clothing]]</div>Morganthttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Hey&diff=26005Hey2006-03-15T07:32:28Z<p>Morgant: typo - Renaissance</p>
<hr />
<div>The '''Hey''' is a [[dance]] figure done by a line of dancers, going each way along the line, roughly half the dancers going in each direction at any time, and alternating between passing by the right sides and by the left sides. Sometimes dancers will not be directly in line to begin with, and will go into line as they begin the hey. Heys are prominent in [[English Country Dance]] but also appear rarely in some Renaissance dance forms. Some dance groups will lightly touch hands in passing (left hand when passing by left sides, then right hand, left hand, etc), a method which is often easier for beginners to learn. Others find little evidence for any hand movement in the original manuscripts, and keep their hands by their sides.<br />
<br />
This figure is not always described as a 'hey' in period dance choregraphies, but instead instructions on how to carry out this figure (which appear to presume some familiarity with the form) are given for the particular dance. Heys most typically proceed until every dancer has returned to their original place, facing in the same direction that they started in (imagine a full figure 8 rather than an "s" or "o"). Occasionally the figure will pause halfway through the hey, but will resume after another dance figure is performed. Both lines of a partnered longways dance may perform this move at once (e. g. [[Grimstock]]) or in turn (e. g. [[Godesses]]).<br />
<br />
To do a basic single hey, participants in the figure begin in line, facing each other in pairs; one may be left out at the end, in which case that one faces in along the line. All pairs facing pass each other by the same side (e. g. all by the right side). Then they pass the next one they meet, all passing by the other side, and so on. Each dancer, when coming to the end of the line, turns around the end of the line, turning to the same side that they passed the last person on; they have nobody to pass as they go around the end, so they miss the side they would have passed by that time, and when they come in they pass by the same side as when they went out. The following figure shows the floor patterns of a hey for three dancers and a hey for four.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:HeyThreeFour.PNG]]<br />
<br />
Sometimes dancers are told to go around a "pole" at the end, but this can create needless confusion, as an imaginary, invisible pole is unlikely to be found in the right place. Too often it results in dancers making an additional loop because they thought the pole was beyond the end of the line.<br />
<br />
If imaginary posts are to be used, it works better to imagine one between every dancer and the next. When passing a dancer one also passes a post; at the end of the line one continues to go forward around the post until one faces the other way along the line, and finds another dancer to pass as one finishes going around the post. The figure below is an example of how dancers pass imaginary posts along a line, in this case a line of six dancers. This way of using the concept of posts, by the way, matches the sense of the word "hey" that the figure seems to be based upon: a fence with slats woven between posts.<br />
<br />
[[image:HeyPosts.PNG]]<br />
<br />
Several variations on the floor pattern of the hey are done:<br />
*the "circular hey" for four is done in the [[Bouffons]], a dance for four dancers in a square (equilateral) formation. In this variation, dancers proceed in a single direction around the formation until they return to their places, their feet having approximately described a large circle. This hey is sometimes inserted into Playford dances, but that is not likely to be correct. When a Playford dance has a hey for four dancers who begin in a rectangular position, this tends to be an elongated rectangle (which favors a transition to a linear hey), and often the figures of the dance specifically elongate the rectangle before the hey. Sometimes the hey is begun by two dancers crossing the middle on the long axis of the rectangle, which effectively leaves the four in line, and in [[Dull Sir John]] a rectangle of four is explicitly lined up before the hey.<br />
*The Double Hey, which appears in a few longways dances, is conjectured to be like a larger version of the "circular hey", in a long oval: dancers weave along the line on both sides of the formation, but instead of turning around the end to come the other way along the line on the same side, they cross to the other side of the formation, and continue in an oval pattern. The end dancers in the line may begin along the line or by facing across the line as requred by the individual dance.<br />
*U shaped heys - a sort of mix between circular/oval and linear heys.<br />
<br />
Variations in the practise of the hey also occur, the dance [[Grimstock]] giving 3 variations with very similar footprints.<br />
<br />
tips for dancing heys:<br />
*put the experienced couple at the top, and the inexperienced dancers will generally correct which side they are on according to which shoulder the expereinced dancers present.<br />
*practise<br />
*If you have learnt to dance with hand touching, and must suddenly dance without, imagine you are still touching hands - cup your hand or some similar movement to remind yourself which shoulder to present next<br />
*Neither too fast nor too slow, and all dancers should tend to match each others' speed. For english country dances, a phrase of music is often played twice, in which case the end of the first phrase denotes when you should be at your halfway point and gives you a chance to speed up of slow down.<br />

<hr />
<div>Common varieties of borage have prickly leaves and small pink/purple/blue flowers (colour variance occurs upon the one plant). Borage is an annual, but is very succesful at self-seeding. The flowers can be put in [[salad]]s, [[cordial]]s, and [[beer]]s. The young leaf is used as a herb and salad green.<br />
Borage is reputed to give the drinker courage, making borage beer reputedly a drink to have before going into battle. (for beers, see [[Brewing]])<br />
<br />
Did you know?:<br />
Borage leaves are supposed to have high levels of magnesium, and when put on a fire are supposed to make a minor fireworks display. I've tested small quantities of fresh borage leaves, but no sparklies. Perhaps whole branches of dried borrage on an open fire would work?<br />

<hr />
<div>== History ==<br />
These pies are based mainly on a recipe from "A Noble Boke Off Cookry ffor a Prynce Houssolde", an 1882 reprint of a [[manuscript]] (Harleian Manuscript #4016) scribed shortly after 1467 (the date of one of the [[feast]]s described at the beginning of the text) but including a number of much earlier recipes. Several of the recipes in this manuscript are literally identical to recipes found in the 1390 text of "[[Forme of Cury]]". I was also influenced by several other meat pie recipes, one of which I have reproduced here for its suggestions of saffron as an additional spice. The pies can be eaten hot or cold, and the same filling can be used for pasties.<br />
<br />
===Spelling===<br />
Alternate spellings of this recipe may include "Pyes de Pares" (Harleian MS. 279) and "Pies of Parys" (Harleian MS. 4016). Forme of Cury does not grace this recipe with a title.<br />
<br />
== Ingredients ==<br />
* 1 1/2 pounds of minced and/or ground [[veal]]<br />
* 4 pounds of minced and/or ground [[pork]]<br />
* 2 cups of [[beef]] broth<br />
* 3 cups of white [[wine]]<br />
* 1 cup of [[currant]]s<br />
* 1 cup of chopped [[date]]s<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon [[saffron]]<br />
* 2 Tablespoons [[sugar]]<br />
* 1 Tablespoon powdered [[ginger]]<br />
* [[salt]] to taste<br />
* 5 [[egg]]s<br />
* hot water crust pastry shell<br />
<br />
== Method ==<br />
# Brown all the meat together.<br />
# Add the broth and white wine and let in simmer over low heat for an hour or more.<br />
# Now add the dates and currants and cook for 15 minutes more.<br />
# After adding the fruit, line two deep dish pie crusts with pastry.<br />
# Remove the meat and fruit with a slotted spoon to a large ceramic dish and move away from the oven to cool.<br />
# Add another two cups of wine and a cup of broth and your seasonings to the liquid and bring just to a boil.<br />
# At the same time, beat four eggs together.<br />
# Dribble a few spoonfuls of the hot liquid slowly into the eggs while beating continuously.<br />
# Turn down your heat as low as possible and slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering liquid while beating continuously. (These last procedures work best with two pairs of hands.)<br />
# Keep stirring with a whisk until the liquid thickens well and remove from heat.<br />
# Spoon the meat and fruit mixture back into the thickened sauce and mix well to coat.<br />
# Then spoon the filling into the pie shells, being sure to use all of the sauce.<br />
# Cover with a top crust of pastry and crimp the edges with your fingers.<br />
# Beat up the last egg and brush it over the top of the crust.<br />
# Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits (for steam) in a decorative pattern in the crust.<br />
# Bake at 350 degrees for thirty minutes.<br />
# Remove from the oven and cool for at least 20 minutes. You can then serve the pies hot, or place them in the refrigerator to cool thoroughly.<br />

Having made these pies for several years for eating at [[Festival]] and other [[camping event]]s, I've hit on something -- they are a great way of preserving meat.<br />

<hr />
<div>== History ==<br />
These pies are based mainly on a recipe ("Pyes de Parys") from "A Noble Boke Off Cookry ffor a Prynce Houssolde", an 1882 reprint of a [[manuscript]] (Harlian Manuscript #4016) scribed shortly after 1467 (the date of one of the [[feast]]s described at the beginning of the text) but including a number of much earlier recipes. Several of the recipes in this manuscript are literally identical to recipes found in the 1390 text of "[[Forme of Cury]]". I was also influenced by several other meat pie recipes, one of which I have reproduced here for its suggestions of saffron as an additional spice. The pies can be eaten hot or cold, and the same filling can be used for pasties.<br />
<br />
== Ingredients ==<br />
* 1 1/2 pounds of minced and/or ground [[veal]]<br />
* 4 pounds of minced and/or ground [[pork]]<br />
* 2 cups of [[beef]] broth<br />
* 3 cups of white [[wine]]<br />
* 1 cup of [[currant]]s<br />
* 1 cup of chopped [[date]]s<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon [[saffron]]<br />
* 2 Tablespoons [[sugar]]<br />
* 1 Tablespoon powdered [[ginger]]<br />
* [[salt]] to taste<br />
* 5 [[egg]]s<br />
* hot water crust pastry shell<br />
<br />
== Method ==<br />
# Brown all the meat together.<br />
# Add the broth and white wine and let in simmer over low heat for an hour or more.<br />
# Now add the dates and currants and cook for 15 minutes more.<br />
# After adding the fruit, line two deep dish pie crusts with pastry.<br />
# Remove the meat and fruit with a slotted spoon to a large ceramic dish and move away from the oven to cool.<br />
# Add another two cups of wine and a cup of broth and your seasonings to the liquid and bring just to a boil.<br />
# At the same time, beat four eggs together.<br />
# Dribble a few spoonfuls of the hot liquid slowly into the eggs while beating continuously.<br />
# Turn down your heat as low as possible and slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering liquid while beating continuously. (These last procedures work best with two pairs of hands.)<br />
# Keep stirring with a whisk until the liquid thickens well and remove from heat.<br />
# Spoon the meat and fruit mixture back into the thickened sauce and mix well to coat.<br />
# Then spoon the filling into the pie shells, being sure to use all of the sauce.<br />
# Cover with a top crust of pastry and crimp the edges with your fingers.<br />
# Beat up the last egg and brush it over the top of the crust.<br />
# Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits (for steam) in a decorative pattern in the crust.<br />
# Bake at 350 degrees for thirty minutes.<br />
# Remove from the oven and cool for at least 20 minutes. You can then serve the pies hot, or place them in the refrigerator to cool thoroughly.<br />

== An Alternative (and scientific) Viewpoint ==<br />
<br />
Having made these pies for several years for eating at [[Festival]] and other [[camping event]]s, I've hit on something -- they are a great way of preserving meat.<br />
<br />
I've written an article on this, including the results of taking these pies to a pathology laboratory for microbial testing, here:<br />

<hr />
<div><b>Portugal</b> occupies most of the Western seaboard of the [[Iberia|Iberian Penninsula]], and was formed as a result of [[The Reconquista]].<br><br />
In 868 Count Vimara Peres, a [[vassal]] of the [[King]] of [[L&eacute;on]], reconquered the area of [[Moors|Moorish]] [[Spain]] between the Minho and Douro rivers. The area became a county in its own right, called ''Portucale'', in reference to the [[Roman Empire|Romanised]] city of ''Cale'' which was a ''port''.<br><br />
Technically the county was a dependency of L&eacute;on, but during the reigns of weak monarchs it enjoyed ''de facto'' independence. In 1065, under '''Garcia''', one of the sons of '''Ferdinand I''', the county broke away, during disputes between Garcia's other brothers, from L&eacute;on, to become the Kingdom of Galicia and Portugal. However, due to the rebellions of nobles, this lasted only 7 years before the country rejoined Leon and [[Castile]] (by then ruled by Garcia's brother, '''Alphonso VI'''.<br />
<br />
In 1095 Portugal separated from Galicia, and at the end of the century Count '''Henry''' united the counties of Portucale and Coimbra and declared independence. His son, '''Alfonso''', took up the struggle after his father's death and in 1128 declared himself Prince. In 1139 he elevated his title to that of King and in 1143 the country was recognised as independent, with Alfonso as ''Dux Portucalensis''. Finally, in 1179 the [[Pope]] declared him '''King Alfonso I'''.<br />
<br />
The first capital city was Guimaraes; then Coimbra, and finally, in 1255, after the Algarve had been reconquered, the capital was moved to Lisbon.<br />
<br />
Portugal rose to prominence as a trading nation having discovered a passage to [[India]] by travelling south around [[Africa]], and also establishing itself in the part of the [[New World]] which is now called Brazil. The man often given the credit for inspiring Portugal's successes on the sea is [[Henry the Navigator]], a Prince whose interest in exploration inspired many expeditions. During the [[16th century]] Portugal was one of the foremost kingdoms in [[Europe]].</div>Morganthttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Castile&diff=11062Castile2005-09-07T08:26:04Z<p>Morgant: typos</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Castile''', which eventually formed a fundamental part of the [[kingdom]] of [[Spain]], originated as a county of the kingdom of [[Leon]], called '''Burgos'''.<br><br />
Under Count Fernan Conzalez, in the 930s CE, the title of Kingdom was adopted, as the Count took his lands into independence, and the name '''''Castile''''' was selected, because the area contained numerous [[castle]]s. The city of Burgos became the first capital (although later Valladolid succeeded to this honour), and Castile became a leading force in the reconquest of the central and southerrn areas of the Spanish peninsula from the [[Muslim]] Moors.<br><br />
During this period the kings of Leon continued to treat Castile as one of their counties; in turn the stronger kings of Castile pressed their independence, and courteously threatened to take Leon itself into their dominions.<br />
<br />
In 1095CE Castilian forces captured Toledo and in doing so took the southern lands beyond the Carpetan mountains which were to become known as '''New Castile''', a warmer, and drier, land than Old Castile, north of the mountains. <br><br />
In 1230 '''Castile''' re-united with the kingdom of '''Leon''' and the united kingdoms continued to drive the Moorish forces back.<br />
<br />
Finally, in 1469, when Ferdinand of '''Aragon''' married Isabella of Castile, the way was opened for a single kingdom of Spain, which became a reality in 1516 when their grandson, Charles V assumed both thrones.</div>Morganthttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Barony_of_Small_Gray_Bear&diff=11033Barony of Small Gray Bear2005-09-01T07:47:32Z<p>Morgant: categorising, stub</p>

<hr />
<div>An '''SCAism''' is a term that has been coined or adopted by many in the [[SCA]] which is considered by some to be inappropriate either because it is a modern term, a constructed term, or a term which doesn't mean what it did in [[period]]. Unfortunately it is very hard to get rid of such words.<br />
<br />
* An ''[[autocrat]]'' is in charge of an [[event]].<br />
* A ''[[feastocrat]]'' is in charge of the [[food]] at an event.<br />
* A victorian term ''remove'' is really a [[course]].<br />
* The term ''[[garb]]'' referred to a sheaf of wheat. People [[dress]] in [[clothing]] which may resemble their national [[costume]].<br />
* ''Smalls'' referred in period to undergarments, not [[child]]ren.<br />
* The ''[[Eric rope|Eric]]'' is an SCA word for the [[tourney]] [[field]] derived from an SCA nickname for the border rope.<br />
* The ''[[List]]'', the ''[[List field]]'' and the ''[[Lists Officer|List Officer]]'' are all corruptions of the original word ''[[lists]]'' due to the paperwork of the said officer. <br />
* A [[rhino]] or rhino-hider is a [[fighter]] who ignores blows.<br />
<br />
More [[authenticity|authentic]] versions could be:<br />
* Autocrat: [[Steward]]<br />
* Feastocrat: Chief [[Cook]]<br />
* Eric: tourney field or lists<br />

<hr />
<div>A '''site token''' is a wearable receipt for an SCA [[event]]. The trinket is a visible indication that you have paid the entrance fees for an SCA [[event]] and are therefore attending "legally". In mundane terms, think of it as similar to the bracelet one might get for entrance to a concert or amusement park. Sometimes, different tokens will denote different pay levels at an [[event]], such as separate adult and children's fees or to mark who is on-board for a [[feast]].<br />
<br />
Site tokens can be as simple as a piece of braided yarn or a string necklace with some [[beads]]. They can also be more elaborate and customized for a particular event. Cast [[pewter]] event tokens have become popular in [[Meridies]] and are used sometimes even for local events. [[Pennsic]] is known for its annual custom-made site tokens. In their more elaborate form, site tokens can be a collectable souvenir of an event.</div>Morganthttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Periwinkle&diff=17407Periwinkle2005-08-22T04:46:06Z<p>Morgant: typo</p>

<hr />
<div>'''Sicily''' is an island situated west of the "toe" of mainland [[Italy]].<br />
<br />
After the disintegration of the [[Roman Empire]], the island was conquered by [[Byzantium]] under [[Justinian]] to become part of the Eastern Empire. The island then came under [[Arab]] control from 827.<br />
<br />
[[Norman]] forces attacked unsuccesfully in 1060, but in 1062 a force led by Roger de Hauteville and Robert Guiscard established a foothold in Messina. Taking advantage of Arabic disunity the Normans managed a piecemeal conquest of the island. Palermo was taken in 1072 and by 1091 Roger had captured the last resisting Muslim town.<br />
<br />
Roger held the conquered portions of Sicily, with the exception of Palermo and Messina, in fealty to Robert Guiscard until 1085. Robert's death in that year allowed Roger to establish Sicily as his own. Following much intrigue and extensive interference from the [[pope]], Roger's son was crowned Roger II, king of Sicily, [[Calabria]] and [[Apulia]].<br />
<br />
In 1282, Charles I of Anjou was deposed in Sicily and the island became a political entity separate from mainland Italy. The uprising, known as the Sicilian Vespers, led to Peter III of Aragon becoming Peter I of Sicily as well.</div>Morganthttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Arrow_mesh&diff=14311Arrow mesh2005-08-18T07:24:46Z<p>Morgant: re-categorizing</p>

<hr />
<div>This [[:special:categories|category]] has always given me concern, which is why I have never defined it or made many members for it. There are many possible members for it, but I wonder if it should have a number of subcategories or be really subdivided. For instance, members could be<br />
* [[fighter]]<br />
* [[archery]]<br />
* [[war]]<br />
* [[marshal]]<br />
* [[rules of the list]]<br />
* [[Wars of the Roses]]<br />
* [[authorisation]]<br />
* [[helm]]<br />
But we already have categories for <br />
* [[:category:battles (medieval)]]<br />
* [[:category:armour]]<br />
* [[:category:SCA armour]]<br />
* [[:category:weapons]]<br />
* [[:category:battles]]<br />
Should we be careful to break up the members into further [[SCA]]-specific categories? Should there be a general [[:category:combat]] and a [[:category:combat (SCA)]]?<br />
- [[User:Cian|Cian Gillebhrath]] 01:15, 12 Aug 2005 (CDT)<br />

Those are good ideas, Cian. I'd go for the subdivisions - what do other people think?<br />
- [[User:Morgant|Morgant]] 01:27, 12 Aug 2005 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I agree. The [[:category:combat (SCA)]] format works best for me too.<br />
- [[User: Conrad Leviston|Conrad]] 09:09, 13 Aug 2005 (CDT)<br />
<br />
The problem is then where to put what. [[Tournament]] can be [[:category:combat]] but [[Tournament style]]s might be best as [[:category:combat (SCA)]]. [[SCA sword]] is [[:category:weapons]] which is a subpart of [[:category:combat]] but should it also be a part of [[:category:combat (SCA)]]? This is the sort of issue I was having. Those examples are but the tip of the phalanx. I have no problems with cross-categorisation but this has to limited, rather than making almost every member of one category also appear in another category. <br />

<hr />
<div>Two pronged '''forks''' were used in many [[Europe]]an cultures (including the [[England|English]]) since before the [[12th century]] (I believe) for the carving of [[meat]]. Each family might have one of two such carving forks for use at the table (ie. used only to chop up the meat, didn't get anywhere near anyone's mouth).<br />
<br />
The earliest evidence of personal eating forks I've come across is in [[12th Century]] [[Italy]] (well OK, [[Venice]], since Italy didn't exist yet). <br />
Before this time eating utensils were a [[spoon]] and a [[knife]].<br />
<br />
However, forks were rather slow to take off. By the [[14th Century]], [[France]] had adopted the fork, but England held off adopting these inventions of the hated foreigners until after the time of [[Henry VIII]].<br />
<br />
In later [[medieval]] times, western European people primarily used two pronged forks, like a modern carving fork, but smaller. <br />
Many people in the SCA consider any fork with more than two tines to be [[out of period]], but period examples of forks with more tines do exist. Three, four, five and even seven-pronged forks are [[extant]]. If you're looking to buy a two pronged fork, they turn up regularly in [[op-shops]], sometimes even in sets of 6, and are quite cheap.<br />
<br />
Since it's rather difficult (and probably [[out of period|non-period]]) to eat without using your fingers with only a knife and a spoon, a [[serviette]] (or at a pinch a tea towel) is an extremely useful item, as it prevents getting nasty hard to remove grease stains on your [[garb]] from the roast [[chicken]] and making the [[hospitaller]] angry (if you borrowed the [[garb]]).</div>Morganthttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Two_pronged_fork&diff=19274Two pronged fork2005-08-18T07:09:20Z<p>Morgant: Redirect to fork</p>

<hr />
<div>Even if the ''steward'' would in many senses be a better term than the autocrat, the latter has remedial characteristics, that would encourage using it further more.<br />
<br />
The word autocrat communicates rather nicely the fact, that this person is ultimately in charge of the event bearing the responsibility and thus having a rather final say on how things will run in the event. With the meaning of sole ruler, this particular term is the very best in communicating the mandate and responsibility.<br />
<br />
The question is, if this communication is really necessary, sadly I have seen that it sometimes really is. <br />
<br />
-- Dim foreigner<br />
* True, but it is part of the old argument in the [[SCA]] - what is better? Doing something as they did in [[period]] (for at least one part of the world) or doing it as we have [[tradition]]ally done it in-house for years? There is no right or wrong sometimes, but SCA terms and SCA definitions of existing terms (e.g. [[reeve]]) are sometimes easier to work with when interacting with modern expectations and the modern world. Being a pedantic linguist, I like to use old terms with their original definitions, rather than inventing new ones. I find it more "quaint" and adds to the atmosphere that we call the Dream. - [[User:Cian|Cian Gillebhrath]]<br />

<hr />
<div>A '''site token''' is a wearable receipt for an SCA [[event]]. The trinket is a visible indication that you have paid the entrance fees for an SCA [[event]] and are therefore attending "legally". In mundane terms, think of it in as similar to the bracelet one might get for entrance to a concert or amusement park. Sometimes, different tokens will denote different pay levels at an [[event]], such as separate adult and children's fees or to mark who is on-board for a [[feast]].<br />
<br />
Site tokens can be as simple as a piece of braided yarn or a string necklace with some [[beads]]. They can also be more elaborate and customized for a particular event. Cast [[pewter]] event tokens have become popular in [[Meridies]] and are used sometimes even for local events. [[Pennsic]] is known for its annual custom-made site tokens. In their more elaborate form, site tokens can be a collectable souvenir of an event.</div>Morganthttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Cliges&diff=16979Cliges2005-08-16T07:46:19Z<p>Morgant: typos</p>

<div>==Introduction==<br />
'''Cliges''' is an Old [[French]] text (c. 1176) by [[Chretien de Troyes]].<br />
==Plot==<br />
Alexander, eldest son of the [[Byzantine]] [[emperor]], travels to [[Britain]] aiming to get [[King Arthur]] to make him a [[Knight]]. After a interval in which he proves himself, he is made a knight and wins the love of [[Sir]] [[Gawain]]'s sister, Sobriquet.<br />
<br />
When Alexander's father dies, the boat sending the message to him is sunk and the only survivor swears Alexander sunk with the [[boat]]. Alexander's younger brother Alis [[crown]]s himself, and rules happily until Alexander hears the news and travels to Byzantium with his wife Sobriquet and his son (by her) '''Cliges'''. An agreement is struck between Alexander and Alis. Alis will retain the title of emperor, but Alexander will exercise the day to day power. More importantly Alis will never marry, but instead take Cliges as his [[heir]].<br />
<br />
After a few years, Alexander dies of old age/illness and his wife soon dies of grief. Alis betrays them and plans to take the daughter of the [[Germany|German]] emperor as his wife. Alis and retinue, including Cliges, travel to Germany, where the girl falls madly in love with Cliges. With the help of her nurse, a potion is given to Alis on their [[wedding]] night, which will make Alis dream he couples with her, while she remains a virgin.<br />
<br />
Returning to Byzantium, Cliges wins much honour fighting off the [[duke]] of [[Saxony]] who had previously been promised the girl to marry. Cliges takes leave of the girl to travel to Britain to become a knight. He beats everyone except Gawain in a [[tourney]], winning much acclaim. (Isn't it funny how Arthur and his knights never seem to age?) He then tops this by sneaking into a [[castle]] under [[siege]] and winning it for Arthur. <br />
<br />
Unable to hold off his heart any longer, Cliges returns home, and plots with the girl to free her from the emperor. Her nanny again aids with a potion to allow her to feign death. In a death-like state, the girl is to be buried in a tomb designed by Cliges' craftsman, until some [[doctor]]s arrive in town who have seen this plot before. They torture the girl severely to get her to cry out, and are about escalate the torture to roast her on a spit when the townspeople decide enough is enough.<br />
<br />
The girl is entombed, rescued, and saved from her almost fatal torture wounds by another of nanny's concoctions. Cliges and the girl recuperate happily in a [[tower]] with hidden chambers, until a knight spies them in the hidden [[garden]]. They escape just in time (again with nanny's help), and live in Britain until news of Alis' death (of regret for breaching his [[oath]]) reaches them. Cliges and the girl reign happily as emperor and [[empress]] of Byzantium, and are the reason that ever after Byzantine emperors keep their wives secluded.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Tablero de Jesus''' is a two-player [[board game]] that is popular in the [[SCA]]. A 7 x 7 space board is used; each column has one [[coin]] in it, and the players roll dice to move and claim the coins. A drinking variant called ''Tablero da Gucci'' is extremely popular in much of the Society, especially [[An Tir]].<br />
<br />
Current [[research]] indicates that Tablero was, unfortunately, an outside hoax that was innocently imported into the SCA -- there is no evidence that the game was actually played in period, and the [[documentation]] seems to be entirely fraudulent.<br />

<div>==Medieval Guilds==<br />
In earlier [[medieval]] times, '''Guilds''' (originally ''Gilds'') were social and religious institutions, providing mutual support to their members. In later periods, they came to be exclusive associations for mercantile groups, such as merchants, or craftsmen.<br />
<br />
Guilds would help their members in a number of ways:<br />
* Supporting the families of dead members<br />
* Setting price ranges for wares (thus preventing uncompetitive pricing)<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Wattle and Daub''' is a simple construction method in which a fence is constructed by twining flexible sticks between (non-flexible) posts, and then covering the fence in mud. Wattle fencing is constructed in the same manner, but generally leaves off the mud.<br />
<br />
The name 'wattle' refers the flexible wooden sticks, not to a species of [[wood]], and 'daub' to the process of patting mud on the fence. The species of acacia in [[Australia]] called wattle got their name because settlers found them most suitable for use as wattles. (cf [http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/flora/wattle.php] [http://www.worldwidewattle.com/schools/name.php])<br />
<br />
The use of wattle and daub extended far beyond [[medieval]] [[Europe]], for instance the pre-[[Columbus|Columbian]] cultures of the [[America]]s.<br />
<br />
== Wattle fences and Wattle and Daub houses in [[12th century|12th C]] [[Dublin]] ==<br />
<br />
===Posts===<br />
Some posts with fire hardened points, modern studies showed no anti-rotting benefit of this vertical posts- round, generally with bark still on, average spacing 15-30cm. Spacing is not bigger with bigger posts, but with a few very thin internal house walls it was smaller. Occasionally posts are paired, some could be repairs (unlikely - very awkward to insert), but many appear original, to strengthen weak points.<br />
The ends of posts adazed to rough points<br />
<br />
Posts extend 20-40cm below ground. But that may not be original reading (don't need to be that deep) - may have been weighted down by house roofs. They were hammered into position (not inserted in dug trenches).<br />
<br />
===Wattles===<br />
<br />
The size was somewhat dependent on size of posts.<br />
More lightweight walls - fences, walls as part of a double wall construction, used av 15-25mm diameter wattles. Heavy single house walls and other heavy uses, av 20-30mm. Thinner wattles required when posts closer together, or less gaps in weave required.<br />
Wattles most likely derived from long term coppising, especially the thicker ones.<br />
<br />
Woven behind every second post (i.e. in front, behind, in front, behind, etc)<br />
In one wall lowest 3 strands (and probably top 3 on some houses) plaited together as woven to form a cornice. This known from other locations ([[16th century|16th C]] [[Flemish]], modern [[Ireland]]). The strip binds the ends together better, and was probably on a movable wall - more wear and tear.<br />
<br />
Figure-eight shaped knots of wattle found - probably used to bind tops of more roughly made walls, joins in fences and for simple joints. (similar shown in ''Lutrell psalter fl63b'') Fibres are probably twisted as worked - prevents snapping.<br />
<br />
In some cases Blackthorn was used as wattles in lower few rows of fences (not houses), possibly to deter vermin. [[Irish]] accounts ([[12th century|12th C]] story ''Aislnge Meic Conglinne'', [[8th century|8th C]] [[laws]]) mention crests of blackthorn on fences to deter [[animal]]s.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Inter-College War (ICW)''' is an annual [[SCA]] [[event]] in [[Lochac]] at which all the [[College]]s of the kingdom meet for 4 days of [[camping]] (well actually indoors bunkhouses are usually provided), [[war]], [[drinking]], [[fighting]], drinking, [[feasting]], drinking, fighting, tomfoolery... etc. Each year a different University hosts ICW, and it's generally held during the midsemester break - perfect timing for the middle of [[winter]]! It can be a very amusing event, very rowdy, and tons of fun. To give you some idea, think of a large congregation of [[university]] students from all across [[Australia]] in [[garb]] and [[armour]] attempting to recreate pre-[[16th century]], ultimately resulting in much entertainment, new friends, incriminating photos and an extraordinary hangover.<br />
<br />
ICW began in June [[A.S. XXIX]] ([[1994]]), as a challenge between [[College of St Aldhelm|St Aldhelm]] and [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] during "The Defense of The [[Realm]]", an event held at the [[Crossroads]] site in [[Torlyon]].<br />

<hr />
<div>This [[:special:categories|category]] has always given me concern, which is why I have never defined it or made many members for it. There are many possible members for it, but I wonder if it should have a number of subcategories or be really subdivided. For instance, members could be<br />
* [[fighter]]<br />
* [[archery]]<br />
* [[war]]<br />
* [[marshal]]<br />
* [[rules of the list]]<br />
* [[Wars of the Roses]]<br />
* [[authorisation]]<br />
* [[helm]]<br />
But we already have categories for <br />
* [[:category:battles (medieval)]]<br />
* [[:category:armour]]<br />
* [[:category:SCA armour]]<br />
* [[:category:weapons]]<br />
* [[:category:battles]]<br />
Should we be careful to break up the members into further [[SCA]]-specific categories? Should there be a general [[:category:combat]] and a [[:category:combat (SCA)]]?<br />
