When the link from the Kingdom OP to the Wiki for each person was added, we got (and continue to get) a lot of new people pages (yay!). Unfortunately, the baby wiki editors creating those pages don't know to add the <nowiki>[[Category:People]]</nowiki> code snippet to their page.
 +
If you have a moment, stop by the [[Special:Uncategorizedpages| Uncategorized Pages]] page and scan the list for any obvious people names and add the people category for them.

The following events are on the Royal Progress:

I've been through as many of the uncategorized pages as I could.  I added People tags to all of the pages I could find that were people, and Events tags to all of the events.  Got the list down to 48 pages for now, until someone adds more content without categories. --[[User:Malkom1366|Malkom1366]] 15:20, 8 Jul 2008 (PDT)

5/19 - 5/21    May Crown Tournament  - Shire of Ambergard (Moses Lake, WA)

I've added a <nowiki>[[Category:Location]]</nowiki> category inside the events category and started creating pages for sites I know of. I think it would be helpful to have a Google Maps link to the aerial view of each site in order to help people find these locations if they've never been there before. There's also room for what events have been held at each site and directions to get there. --[[User:Malkom1366|Malkom1366]] 12:19, 11 Jul 2008 (PDT), [[José Cabrera de Castilla]]

Greetings all,
 
 
 
  I wish to express my thanks and gratitude to all those who helped to make youth activities a success at the 40 Year Celebration.
 
 
 
  First off, to our marvelous instructors/sponsors- HL Fionnghuala inghean mhic Oitir, Alwynd McBride, Lady May de Blatha An Oir, Godith of Goosefoot Mead, HL Saikhan Naranaimorin, HL Angharad ver' Reynulf, Lady Mabel de Wymburn, Eithne of Blatha An Oir and Isabella of Wallingford,. From a medieval figure making class to a visit to meet the horses to making clay buttons, the children had a wide base of unique opportunities. My thanks to these busy ladies for their time and efforts.
 
 
 
  Next, to those who planned on volunteering... and those who simply stepped forward to help as needs arrived. Seirid, Tarna and Caidwen are ever the constant support without whom I could not function. And now to my real heroes- the parents who jumped in when hands grew short. Your assistance was invaluable- I really don't know what I would have done without you. To Countess Caia Snowden, Celeste Direwolf, Nancy Quade... and the many, many others who lent a hand, you have my sincerest gratitude.
 
 
 
  The Keep provided many wonderful activities at their "Festival of Fools." By all reports, a fantastic time was held by all.
 
 
 
  I apologize if I have inadvertently forgotten a name but your service and willingness to help the young ones amongst us shall never be forgotten.
 
 
 
  Finally, thanks to the Shire of Fire Mountain Keep, the Barony of Glymm Mere, and the fine autocrat, Countess Sineidin. It was a pleasure to serve with you.
 
 
 
  In Service,
 
 
 
  Lady Una Glamdottir
 
  40 Year Pied Piper

I was there the final weekend and must say that it was a blast! I was camped
 
over between the equestrian arena and the court pavilion. During court on
 
Saturday it was really cool hearing cheers from the pavilion echo off the
 
mountainside behind us before the next cheer started.

What a fabulous event it was!  The site is absolutely gorgeous and *huge* -
 
plenty of room for whatever sort of expansion in the future.  The water is
 
in and tastes fine.  The Great Hall was hopping, the mead and ale flowing,
 
the food tasty.  There were loads of merchants, a really good selection of
 
wares.  (I'll never forget my first taste of pickled herring sushi - heh!)
 
The children seemed well occupied and happy (albeit the pipers were
 
exhausted - seems something more should be done to help them, yes).  The
 
first couple of days were a bit wet and chilly, but there's unfortunately
 
nothing Baron Emiel can do about that... yet.  :)
 
 
Thank you to everybody who helped make this happen!  I can't wait for
 
Autumnwar!  :)

One of the most amazing things about the site, I was camped about in the
 
center, and still I could hardly hear the loud parties going on in the NE
 
corner, the noisey camping.  The quiet camping about a 1/4 of a mile further
 
down the way would have been very quiet indeed.

My personal favorite is "Dangerous Beauty".  Set it Venice during the era of the couretsans (1600's I believe).  It is well written, well acted, and has a great monologue while the main character faces the Spanish Inquisition.

1492
 
A Knight's Tale (watching it makes you feel like a you have been at a
 
really good SCA event.)
 
A Man For All Seasons - The story of Thomas More, who stood up to King
 
Henry VIII when the King rejected the Roman Catholic Church to obtain a
 
divorce and remarriage, with Orson Welles as Cardinal Wolsey.  It features
 
the best Tudor garb I've ever seen in a movie.
 
Attila the Hun
 
Becket
 
Black Shield of Fallworth
 
Braveheart - Mel Gibson in a kilt and woad saying " I'm gonna pick a fight"
 
Cadfael (sp) series from BBC.
 
Camelot - the classic with Vanessa Redgrave
 
Conan the Barbarian - the second must have SCA movie back when rocks were
 
molten
 
Count of Monte Cristo
 
Court Jester - (The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true),
 
Danny Kaye
 
Dangerous Beauty
 
Don Quixote (best song about whats important in life ever)
 
Dragon Heart: A New Beginning
 
Dragon Heart
 
El Cid

Erik the Viking - it's fun and most of the clothes are period Norse.
 
Ever After
 
Excalibur - the must have SCA movie back when rocks were molten
 
First Knight
 
Flesh and Blood
 
Flesh and Blood - The castle siege in it was, while dark and nasty,
 
fascinating in it's own weird way.
 
Gladiator
 
Henry V - Kenneth Branaugh's. Outstanding great, imho one of the very best
 
films ever.  Definatly the best screen adaptation of any Shakespeare play,
 
bar none. Not even Laurence Olivier's Henry V can touch this one.
 
In Service to the Dream
 
Ivanhoe
 
Ivanhoe - BBC version is far superior to the Robert Taylor film.
 
Ivanhoe, the BBC television version is especially good. Anne likes the one
 
with Elizabeth Taylor.

Ioan Gruffudd, Mads Mikkelsen
 
King Arthur
 
Kingdom of Heaven The Directors Cut
 
Labyrinth
 
Ladyhawke
 
Last Unicorn - animated but very medieval
 
Last Valley
 
Le Moine et la Sorciere / Sorceress - not flamboyant, but an excellent
 
movie made by Suzanne Schiffman and Pamela Berger an associate of Truffaut
 
and and an art history prof.
 
Legend
 
Les Couloirs du Temps: Les Visiteurs 2 - haven't seen it yet, but its
 
supposed to be funnier.
 
Les Visiteurs / Just Visiting - the ORIGINAL french version (with
 
subtitles) is far funnier.  Jean Reno and Christian Clavier. Just Visiting
 
- With Christina Applegate, Jean Reno and Christian Clavier
 
Lion in Winter - Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn
 
Lion in Winter - Patrick Stewart/Glenn Close
 
Long Ships
 
Mad Love / Juana la Loca - It is the story of Joan the Mad; daughter of
 
Isabelle & Ferdinand and mother of Charles V.  Great costuming and an
 
intense story. sub-titles.
 
Man in the Iron Mask
 
Messenger - Joan of Arc (the new one - the battle scenes are just... WOW!)
 
Mists of Avalon
 
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
 
Much Ado About Nothing with Kenneth Branaugh, Michael Keaton, Robert Sean
 
Leonard, Keanu Reeves (yes really), Emma Thompson and Denzel Washington.
 
Prince Valiant
 
Prince of Jutland (also known in the US as Royal Deceit - the original
 
Hamlet)

Also, see if somebody can help with the title, there was a GAWD
 
awful film starring Alan Ladd as a blacksmith who dons armour,
 
and rides around the English countryside at night, rescuing maidens
 
and such.
 
 
Asahla and I seem to be the only two An Tirians who ever saw the thing.
 
It was hideous.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland)
 
Prince Valiant starring Robert Wagner, and Janet Leigh? It was horrible! Vikings were supposed the bad guys. Every last one of them was wearing a helmet decorated with cow horns. The crowd scenes looked ridiculous.

Baron Yusuf asked about positive portrayals of Moors and Arabs
 
onscreen.
 
 
A few years back, an Egyptian director came out with a movie set
 
in Spain under the Caliphate and centered around the philosopher
 
Averroes.  Here's the IMDB synopsis:
 
 
The story is set in the 12th century in Arab-ruled Spanish province
 
Andalusia, where famed philosopher Averroes is appointed grand judge
 
by the caliph and his liberal court judgements are not liked by
 
everyone. The caliph's political rivals, centered around the leader of
 
a fanatical Islamic sect, force the caliph to send Averroes into
 
exile, but his ideas keep on living thanks to his students.
 
 
 
On top of all that, it's a musical!  There's a big dance number where
 
one character is trying to lure an old friend back from the
 
fundamentalists who are more or less brain-washing him and sings about
 
the joys of a life well-lived.  It's quite wonderful.
 
 
The director, Youssef Chahine, has run into trouble in his native
 
Egypt, due to his stand against religious fundamentalism. The movie
 
had a limited release in the US under the title "Destiny".  It's
 
original Arabic title is "al-Massir"
 
 
--
 
 
The Talisman with Rex Harrison as a sympathetic and
 
cultured Saladin opposite George Saunders boorish
 
Richard. Laurance Harvey and Virginia Mayo are the
 
lovers. Very contrived but the diction is splendid.
 
 
--
 
 
"Saladin", an Egyptian made film
 
released in 1963.  This
 
movie presents the Muslim side of the third Crusade,
 
more or less, and is as
 
biased in that direction as the Hollywood
 
productions are biased toward the
 
Crusades.

According to IMBD, it came out in the UK in 1969. Starred David Hemmings
 
as Alfred. With such stellar names as Ian McKellan, Julian Glover and
 
Michael York. Also sold in the US under the name "A King is Born."
 
 
--
 
 
The Name of the Rose
 
 
Lady Jane while a very romantacised and somewhat untrue protrayal of
 
history was nevertheless great fun to watch. The costumes were great
 
and both Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes how can you go wrong? Not
 
to mentiona younger Patrick Stewart.
 
 
But my all time favorite and the reason I learned French and went to
 
live in France for a year as an exchange student:
 
Queen Margot
 
Isabelle Adjani and Daniel Auteil were great but Gregory Pascal as the
 
Duc d'Anjou was riveting *sigh*

Latest revision as of 09:58, 13 March 2011

This page holds raw data waiting to be distributed to its real home, or pages observed needing work, or ideas for enhancements.

Uncategorized People

When the link from the Kingdom OP to the Wiki for each person was added, we got (and continue to get) a lot of new people pages (yay!). Unfortunately, the baby wiki editors creating those pages don't know to add the [[Category:People]] code snippet to their page. If you have a moment, stop by the Uncategorized Pages page and scan the list for any obvious people names and add the people category for them. --Elizabeth Braidwood 22:11, 7 Jul 2008 (PDT)

I've been through as many of the uncategorized pages as I could. I added People tags to all of the pages I could find that were people, and Events tags to all of the events. Got the list down to 48 pages for now, until someone adds more content without categories. --Malkom1366 15:20, 8 Jul 2008 (PDT)

Event Locations / Sites

I've added a [[Category:Location]] category inside the events category and started creating pages for sites I know of. I think it would be helpful to have a Google Maps link to the aerial view of each site in order to help people find these locations if they've never been there before. There's also room for what events have been held at each site and directions to get there. --Malkom1366 12:19, 11 Jul 2008 (PDT), José Cabrera de Castilla

Category:Dukes and Duchesses

Apply [[Category:Dukes and Duchesses]] category to all the existing Dukes and Duchesses. Ditto [[Category:Counts and Countesses]] --Elizabeth Braidwood 10:35, 17 Jan 2007 (PST)

Royalty and Office Succession

Created a new "succession" template Template:Succession See the Royalty of Tir Righ for usage examples. Needs to be applied to the Kingdom, and other principalities' royalty. --Elizabeth Braidwood 18:30, 20 Nov 2006 (EST)

Finished Avacal Royalty. Need to have an Avacallian proof-read it for me. --Elizabeth Braidwood 22:11, 7 Jul 2008 (PDT)

Tir Righ

Just a short note to say that I appreciate the populace images in the Tir Righ library. Thanks to all who sent in their photos! Thanks to those who started the idea and those who maintain the page(s)!

I like being able to look up a name so I can put a face to these faceless emails...

Eisenmarche Shire Banquet and Champions Tournament

  • If you can't find a link on the Eisenmarche page, you may need to create event page

These pictures are exclusively of the Heavy Bear Pit Tourney. Sorry, it is all the battery I had in my camera. I have identified the people I knew, but if you aren't named or would like a picture with you in it, removed please let me know.

http://home.armourarchive.org/members/ewan/Eisenmarche%20Shire%20Banquet/

The fighting was great! Congratulations to Sir Owain who emerged victorious. Also Congratulations to Petro (sp?) who was squired to Viscount Einar in a very humorous ceremony.

The feast was awesome! The quantity of food was enormous! Huge pat on the back to the feast team!

Also a huge thank-you to HLS Desiree, the autocrat for all her work. I hope she is resting well today.

People Pages for Royalty

Need to create Category:People pages for all royalty.

  1. Edit each royal couple page and change Ivar the Black and Asney Grimolfrsdottir into Ivar the Black and Asney Grimolfrsdottir
  2. Add the Category:People tag to their individual page
  3. Add something like "Ivar was the thirteenth prince of Avacal" to Ivar's page, as well as link to his OP entry and any other noteworthy comments (peerages, current activities or interests, etc). Photos and their arms would be good too.


Warren War event pages

The names of each year's Warren War pages need to be changed to make them consistant with all the other recurring event page names -- the event number needs to be removed. --Elizabeth Braidwood 13:57, 13 Jul 2006 (EDT)

College of Pages

Need explanation of what the College of Pages is all about. See College of Pages --Elizabeth Braidwood 14:53, 24 Aug 2006 (EDT)
