[Northkeep] Linen is OK

[Kevinkeary at aol.com]

The king's name was Thaid, more popularly known as Steerpike.
He was still playing 15 or 20 years ago, but had a Japanese persona. I  
forget the name.

It will  have to wait until I get there. I will still be in Texas at 
populace. Thank  you. I am sure others would like it.
By the way I am not telling people to  not wear linen. I wear linen and 
love it. I just pointed it out as one of the  weird things we do in the SCA. 
For example 
Bowing to the empty throne.  I can not find the  period custom and I have 
been looking for over 30  years.  As far as I know and according to Robert 
Asprin there was a King  of the Middle , Thay?? who didn't want to be bowed at 
so he stated that Kings  come and go but the throne stays so you should bow 
to the throne not him. The  Dark Horde made some really funny songs about 
that. 
In the First 15 years  of Ansteorra we didn't bow to the thrones and I 
still don't. I feels too much  like genuflecting in the Catholic church. By the 
way you only kneel when the  light is on and God is there. If that is good 
enough for God it should be good  enough for our Kings. 
The question has been asked whether we should bow to  the thrones when 
during the period that we have no King or Queen and the Crown  is on the chair 
because during that time they take the place of our King.  
I am still thinking about that . What do you think?
