 have to sat about this ceremony-ish serving thing. Two knights
 in our kingdom have volunteered to serve our head table and I'm
 wondering if I can't convince them of something more formal like
 this. Do you have details or can you point me in the right direction?
 
 Any help would be appreciated,

There is a descripttion of a hand-washing water in Menagier, IIRC, I have a 
recipe worked out and some info, but have to convert the files into word from 
WP, and I'm helpless. My hubby is out of town at the moment, if you can wait 
till Sunday, I'll forward the file to you. I found the Menagier recipe

"To make water to wash the hands at table Boil sage, then strain the water, 
and let cool until it is luke-warm. Or instead you can use camomile or 
marjoram, or rosemary and cook with the peel of an orange. And also laurel 
leaves (bay leaves) are good for this."
