Markland Hastings: The Big 40!
By: Drey
Well, as things turned out, just like in 1969 it was Atli who was the fault of it all. Leaving aside the little details it was August before a site was selected and we approved by the host park. King’s Landing in northern Calvert County, Md. turned out to be an almost ideal site. It had waterfront access; it had equestrian facilities, cabins and camping facilities, and best of all, a dining pavilion and washhouse.
In summary: the site great, the weather tolerable, the friends and memories well worth the effort. Can you really ask for more?

How to Make a Scabbard
by Lothar Let’s face it. If you ever bought a sword that was not custom made for you, it probably came with a crappy scabbard (crappard). It is usually some ugly fake black leather or wood grained plastic with aluminum fittings. Not to worry. You can toss that piece of crap away once you make your own authentic wooden scabbard. Just follow this guide.
First you will need some materials:

Horses at events
By Andrew FitzMichael, Knight of the Briar Hedge.
When you think of the middle ages, you think of horses. Horses have a way of turning even the most mundane events into something special for the public and participants. Bringing horses to events is a big deal though, and much goes into their participating that is both obvious and sometimes less so. Ever wonder why it is so hard to get horses to come to events? So what is involved in having horses at events? If you want to run an event, what does it take to have horses come? Or better yet, what does it take to for you to bring your own horse to events? The gulf between the non-equestrian and equestrian groups has caused a number of problems over the years. A lack of understanding about what goes into it all is the root of the problem. Having horses at an event is not easy. This essay is intended to help the would-be medieval equestrian, and the folks who want to have horses at events understand what goes into it all. Hopefully it will help make having more events with horses possible in the future. Posted on 29 Dec 2008 by admin

Hospitallers Conquer Jamestown
Despite several members cancelling at the last minute, three intrepid Hospitallers made the trip down to Jamestown for their second Military Through the Ages. The weather was warm and sunny during the day, which was very MTA-like, although they still managed to squeeze in some rain on Saturday night. The Hospitallers made a big impression this year. Even though we are only in our second year of existence we managed to come in first place in three out of four competitions:
Three Blue Ribbons Best Cooking (cold steel category) Best Camp (cold steel category) Best Costume (overall) Thanks to Natasha, Steve, and Sean for their hardwork and determination in making the Knights Hospitaller camp a success. Come see us at Marching Through Time, April 19th or 20th. Posted on 10 Apr 2008 by Ratatosk
