S1E5 - An Elizabethan Embroidery Primer with Mistress Elizabeth de Belcaire (Liz Scott)

Liz Scott, known in the SCA as Mistress Elizabeth de Belcaire is joining us in the Tavern tonight to provide an overview of Elizabethan embroidery! Her enthusiasm and passion for the subject is absolutely contagious! 
Liz takes us through popular period motifs and gives us a step-by-step walkthrough of the embroidery process. We'll learn about her time spent in conservatories at UK museums and discuss the uncertain history of Elizabethan sweet bags.
The Anchoress shares a delightful recipe for mulled cider from her personal collection in her letter this month, delivered by a musical Cabin Boy.

S1E4 - Tavern Talk: Can We Honestly Recreate History?

Can we truly understand what it's like to recreate history as reenactors? What does it even mean to recreate history?
Join us for our first, "Tavern Talk", where some of the Tavern's patrons discuss this topic over a few mazers of mead.
Be sure to listen to the end for extra content from last month's discussion on the Canterbury Tales. We'll learn a bit about Margery Kempe and why Liberty is justified to bash the Victorians.

S1E1 - Medieval Medicine with Stephen Shellenbean

This month at the Time Traveler's Tavern we have a far-ranging, time-traveling discussion on Medieval Medicine with Stephen Shellenbean, someone I consider a true "Renaissance Man".
We'll learn about his historical research spanning from the 14th century to a Landsknecht (German mercenary troop) field hospital, the American Revolution, and the quirky, Dr. John Kellogg. 
He and his wife are the owners of America's premiere historically accurate tent company: www.Tentsmiths.com.
The Traveling Anchoress' envoy will deliver a letter to update us on her travels this month and provide a delicious recipe for Maywine. 
Have you seen Stephen's "surgery" at any events? Let us know!
