ANST - 14th century knights

[Martin, Brian]

Greetings from Alexis LaBouche:

Speaking as someone who has just moved up 200 years or so (~1400-1425, 
I
prefer the later armor styles), I am curious as to what era most 
people
are choosing to center on.  It seems that there is a trend towards 
later
persona's.

I finally settled on mid 14th century, right around 1360. I wound up 
there as I really fell in love with the clothing and armor styles of 
the period, but mostly because of what was going on right about then: 
Edward III, the Black Prince, the early Hundred Years War, 
(particularly the battle of Crecy) - it was a great time to be from 
England.

Now, a few people have noticed that I claim to be from Edward III but 
I certainly dress like I'm from Henry V. Well, there's this certain 
Burgundian Laurel who makes all of clothes, you see. She makes 
houpleaundes for me and, well, who am I to argue when she's making 
beautiful clothes?
