Where in the Known World was this?  I'm appalled that anyone would be so
inhospitable or just plain RUDE.  Was it because of her age, or that a serious
medieval scholar might possibly challenge some of the local SCA's assumptions
about medieval life?

BTW,   My late patroness participated in SCA practically to the day she died at
age 78.  Most of the people who came to clean up the house and comfort the
family were not people from work or church, but her SCA household and friends.
May we all be granted such lovingkindness from our children, SCA and otherwise,
in our final days!

Meanwhile, back at your recommendation... where can I obtain "Flambard's
Confession" to read?
