Thank you for the information. I really would like to find a book on the
materials that was used in the middle ages. Do you know of any. The book the
Tudor and the Jacban trounaments.  Has a lot of good material on the Tudor
tents of England. I am looking for good resources for A&S documentation. Do
you have any other good books that you recommend. P>S> did you get the
research paper on the tudor tent and the pictures I e-mailed to you.
