The SCA is rife with bits of "SCA history". When I got in, everyone
"knew" that guns were not used on the battlefield before 1600.
Everyone "knew" that lunge attacks were not used in rapier
fighting in period and everyone "knew" that the styles of period
masters such as Saviolo and Di Grassi could not be used
effectively.


Way back in the dark mists of time, everyone "knew" that the guitar was not 
period, along with the lap dulcimer.  I had my tender artistic feelings 
trounced on numerous times based on this "common" knowledge, until I got 
off my rear-end and researched it myself.  Yes, I became an "attack" 
researcher, whipping out my research to flash in the face of those 
uneducated, unenlightened masses.  Nana-nana boo-boo, it is too period!!!!!

It becomes a habit, after awhile, to research things.  My latest topic has 
been the use of the crossbow by the Byzantine army, along with the armor 
and names for the different units in the army.....All because Llywelyn 
bought me a crossbow for Christmas.

I'm also working on documenting quilts, among other things....
