Fencing

[hobbitomm]

Well, fencing practice is go....

Sunday, 29th August, Richard and Gytha's place in Kinghorn, sometime.... (by arrangement). Cynewulf and I will be fencing at the very least, so much amusement will hopefully be had by all.


In other news, I got a mail from An Tir, complimenting me on the Capo Ferra pictures that luis_mw took. Very kind, but all the work was his!
For those who haven't seen them, they're here

I've forwarded the link to His Majesty for his amusement, but I'm sure any resultant SPs will come your way.

Is this a His Majesty I know, or a different one? ;)

It would be the usual suspect His Majesty, although I believe Hugh Macnaghten (who you might remember as Sven Bridesfürsvensønn among other soubriquets) is now running an invitation game.

That's the best use of photoshop I've sen in a long time!! Still the same over-the-top-when-it-comes-to-dying Antonio though! *grins, runs and hides*

I'll have you know that's historically accurate over-the-top-dying!

The woodcuts show these wonderful facial expressions too ;) Of course, the woodcuts also have the fencers either nude or in loincloths, but frankly, me and Cernac? I think not!

*shudders* I hope not!! *Runs and hides again...* I seem to spend a lot of my time running and hiding.....

Consider yourself lucky it's not Talhoffer, or we're be advancing on you with the adult sized fullbody suit (think adult babygro with hood!) and the 'rock in a sock' ;)

Women were dressed... interestingly... in judicial duels! (http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/H/Kenneth.Hodges-1/combat.html)
