I will also point out that SCAers tend to have a very Anglo-centric view of the 
SCA's time period of focus. Concepts like the like the middle class Master of 
Defence and the yeoman archer are very, very English concepts. The French 
were quite appalled at these ideas, which cost them dearly at such battles as 
Agincourt and Crécy. Drift further afield, such as the Arabic nations, and 
these ideas break down further.

We are not, thank the Lord, all English!
