The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many hobbies greatly, and the hobby of medieval re-enactment is no different. Unfortunately, but wisely, the event “Road to Rouen” had to be postponed until June 2021. The fire and passion this event inspired in our groups throughout the Midwest and the Northeast were extraordinary. In order to keep that passion alive, I envisioned a virtual 14th Century Round Table to bring those groups together and foster further discussion, education, and inspiration in the months leading up to the rescheduled event. With the help of Duke Laurelen, Duke EikBrandr, Sir Crispin, and Baroness Gianna Nicole Vettori, this vision recently became reality. In the first episode, special guests Dukes EikBrandr and Laurelen of the Middle Kingdom discussed “Vision and Breathing, OR not in a Bascinet” and “Building Period-Appropriate Arming Garments” respectively. Their presentations were absolutely fantastic, providing both in-depth knowledge and practical application. Be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel as there will be an episode about every four weeks covering both martial and artisanal subjects. Enjoy!
