==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 <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.
--[[User:Braidwood|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. --[[User:Malkom1366|Malkom1366]] 15:20, 8 Jul 2008 (PDT)
==Event Locations / Sites==
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]]

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.
--
Shakespeare in Love
Elizabeth
The Adventures of Robin Hood (the one with Errol Flynn)
Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves (Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Allan Rickman)
LadyHawke

Three Musketeers with Gene Kelly.  It's not actually period being set in the time period it is but it'll get ya in a good SCA mood.
--
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.

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.
Kagamusha
King Arthur - (new, 2004) has some nice periodicity as well. Clive Owen,
Ioan Gruffudd, Mads Mikkelsen
King Arthur
Kingdom of Heaven The Directors Cut
Labyrinth

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.

Hamlet)
Ran
Retour de Martin Guerre (The Return of Martin Guerre) - Set in an
authentic-looking medieval France, some villagers challenge a man's
claimed identity when he claims he is returning from some time in the
army. Re-done in the American Civil War period as "Sommersby" with Jody
Foster and Richard Gere.
Rob Roy - way too late period but very good indeed.

Warlord
--
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.
Johannes
--
The Three Worlds of Gulliver
The Sword in the Stone with the magic duel
Reign of Fire
The Musketeer
Gladiator
--
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.
--
El Bagaude, local chieftain fights Romans and Goths in the Fifth century.
Scipio Africanus:  Unintended hilarity with papier mache elephants, power
lines in the background, and crowds of Romans wearing wristwatches under
their togas.  A messterpiece of Fascist filmmaking.
The Viking Queen:  Poorly named but rather well done movie about Boudicea.
Prince of Foxes:  With Orson Welles, about Cesare Borgia.
--
Chasing the Deer (Culloden) with Brian Blessed. It was the winner of the best British feature film 1995.
--
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*

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)

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.

Ewan of Loch Fynne

--Elizabeth Braidwood 16:24, 15 May 2006 (EDT)

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
