This is a place to discuss problems I am having with my SCA projects (clothing, illumination, calligraphy, embroidery and whatever else) as well as a sort of notify page thingy when I update my main site.
The Persona: Lia de Thornegge.
Lia is a reasonably well off lady from Bishop's Lynn in Norfolk, England around the turn of the 15th Century. Contemporary of Margery Kempe in fact. Currently Lia resides in the Fair Shire of Aros in the Noble Principality of Nordmark within the bounds of the Illustrious Kingdom of Drachenwald, one of realms that make up the Society for Creative Anachronism.
12th century Norman clothing (popularly known as bliauts) is where I started looking at names and clothes. The name, however, is set a century or two later with the Cotehardie/Gothic Fitted style dresses (mainly around the year 1410) which are simple elegance. Thanks to influences in my local shire I have also become interested in the 16th century Tudor styles, more specifically the 1560s, and in the grand tradition of the SCA happily jump between these time periods when it comes to clothing and accessories.
