Known World Historic Combat Studies Symposium

The SCA's first ever Known World Historic Combat Studies Symposium will be held during the opening weekend (Fri June 7 - Monday June 11, 2019) of Lilies War (Fri June 7 - Sun June 16).

The symposium will provide a series of focused classes and hands-on workshops focused on the A&S side of medieval and renaissance combat. These topics include, but are not limited to the study of historic combat techniques - including aspects that cannot be done as part of SCA marshal activities; military history; and the creation of armor, weapons, archery equipment, and equestrian equipment. For guidelines on historic combat as a form of A&S, please refer to this document: http://www.calontir.org/files/pdf/artsci/martialstudy/sca-approved-rules-martial-studies-2005.pdf

Fighting activities (rattan, fencing, and archery) will emphasize historic aspects of SCA and attendees will also be welcome to join Calontir for everything that the Lilies War has to offer.

Research Paper Competition

The SCA has come to cover a vast stretch of human history: all the years before the seventeenth century, all across the world. A wonderful myriad of cultures have thrived in that long time span, and the SCA gives us all opportunities to sample - or drink deeply - from the experiences and examples of these long-ago peoples.

Write a short research paper about a slice of history you find particularly enthralling. It could be a culture, an event, an individual, or a particular historical development.

TO ENTER:

• Keep your entries to roughly five pages or 2,500 words
• Include your sources in some manner (c'mon, half the fun of reading papers is chasing down new sources)!
• ENTRY DEADLINE: 11:59PM, Sunday May 26th
• Submit papers to Hugo van Harlo

THE PRIZE: A Half-Price Books gift card will be awarded to two winners: one Mallet, Swan, or below, and another to a Laurel, Lily, or Hammer.

JUDGING/FEEDBACK SESSION: Wednesday 1:00-3:00; Entrants will be contacted with a specific time slot, but everyone is welcome to come be history geeks together at this time. Winners will be announced at court.

LOCATION: Bull Woods' camp kitchen (across from the showers and Heralds' Point, aka Laurel Holler)
