Well behaved women rarely make history….. And I plan on making a lot of history........ Me

So, why am I doing this? Here's another reason.....

Ya see, there was this really way cool dude named Duke Gyrth Oldcastle. Many folks probably know Gyrth, or have heard of his style of fighting. I became acquainted with him through my friend Mistress Caitlin (one way cool chikadee, by the way). She is a member of a sept of Clan Oldcastle. Since I needed a place to stay at Pennsic a couple years ago, she said I should camp with Oldcastle. What a GREAT group of folks. I always wanted a household like that....

Anyway, Duke Gyrth, rest his soul, was the patriarch of Oldcastle. Last year at Pennsic, he agreed to train me if I got my kit together. Unfortunately, I did not get my kit together in time, because last winter, His Grace passed from this place to a better one. I feel motivated to dedicate my first entry into the Ironrose list at Pennsic to his memory. I hope that Her Grace, Melisande, allows me to carry a token on the field, so that all may see the great respect I hold for her, and for His Grace.

Shhhh. Don't tell her, I haven't had the chance to ask her yet.

Good for you, Roz! I was his last squire (as you prolly know) and have been regretting not training with him as much as I could beforehand. If I'm there, I'll cheer for you (as I'm sure the Duchess will)

Hmmm, that's weird. It was a double post, and I removed one....
