>Ideally what I would like to have is a group centered around the last

>others about life in the 13th century.   I would like the level >of
>authenticity to eventually be on par with similar European and >American
>groups (e.g. . Circa: 1265, Confrérie de la Malemort, Compagnia de Peon,
>Companie de St. George, De Liebaart 1302, and so on).  Members should have
>a year or so to put their basic kit >together.  I'm looking at having
>hopefully 2-4 events per year.

>Some questions still need to be asked, such as where to set it - Two

>that most works on the subject are in English.  The advantage to >the Holy

>include a name for the group, what IS the basic kit, things like that.  I'm
