SC - Gulf Wars & a question

[Michael F. Gunter]

Nope  , not even grey-area . Scholarly middle ages end between 1400 & 1460 AD (
depending on specific area ) SCA middle ages at 1600 AD ( well 1601 if you take
the pre-17th century description literally ) However it would be interesting to
know the original source , I would venture to guess it was around a lot longer
and didn't start its european life as candy .
