Sometimes I have blamed the advent of dressing up in armour and whupping people with swords on Monty Pythons Quest For The Holy Grail. However I have since realised that it really is just an off shoot of Pageants that are actually part of our collective cultural heritages.
So
some say reenactment
some say living history
I say : Pageant!

I do like to play with swords in armour. Sadly, in Australia, there are not enough folk keen to do it in Roman kit- or Greek kit or even too many gladiators. I blame it on " I need to be armoured to the hilt" mentality- and my ancient armour cost too much- and my weapons are accurate and thus unsafe to use accurately- at least thats some of the reasons i have heard. Having said that a good drill is a good work out some days Big Grin

We do what we can when we can :?
regards
richard
