[Sca-cooks] sedan chairs

[Dan Phelps]

Was asked:

> A "palaquin" is a sedan chair, right?

Correct I suppose as a general class but I would say that a sedan chair is a
subset there of.  Picture the convayances used in the movies Kagamusha (the
Shadow Warrior)or IIRC Gladiator.  They are more in the oriental style and
thus IIMBSB picure as being more appropriate to the Good Duke's persona.

I've suggested to some of those that fight in Japanese armor that a palaquin
might be the ticket for toteing about the armor for several person "combat
team" and the perfect portable mini pavilion for a couple of their ladies to
view the fighting.

Got me, I've not been to Pennsic in years but I would suggest that there
might be an up hill "surcharge".  ;-)
