FREELANCE
William of Normandy first said this phrase
when promising every ‘free lance’ warrior
or weapons carrier
who joined his conquest of England with the reward of land or title.

DAMN IT
From Anglo-Saxon’s ‘Damut’ for Viking, derived from Danish ‘Danute'.  As Viking longboats approached the coast a cry of ‘Damut’ was heard from guards.

             Having been commanded on many a quest by King and realm alike, now seems an apt time to pursue one of my own.
             As a vowed and chivalrous Knight of Black Draigs Order of the Sword, my favorite part of every realm event,  
whether a tournament, war, or revel, has always been hearing the views of others who cross from the real world into the
reenactment realm, whether we suffer a plight because of our dual identities, what other realms are into, what's  the funniest adventure they had lately in costume, what new enhancement has come about to armor or weapon, discussing the
historical of days of yore, and especially the soap box of those who divine where our reenactment life is headed.
              My site is dedicated to the Medieval meanderings of those who adhere to the Chivalrious Code of Honor, as well as
all the by-gone knowledge of any Medieval era, and anything else that lies between the real world and the reenactment
one we choose to play in every weekend.
              Once closed to all but our Household of Knights, tis now heartily opened to friends and family who love this era as
much as we do.
               Tis my hope you return often to partake of our offerings and knowledge.
               Join with us, and learn we also have a wicked sense of Medieval humor.
                
  Thy Servant,
