Frequently Asked Questions

for Welsh historic hobbyists of the pre-modern era

These FAQs represent only the opinions of the author and should not be mistaken for God's Truth writ on stone tablets. Most portions of these are taken from my responses to actual questions on various mailing lists and newsgroups (so some of you may recognize your own questions). I've attempted to cover a lot of the most general questions, but some quite specific topics are here simply because I'd already written the topic up for someone and I might as well include it. While I created this for members of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), my focus is on the historic context so there is no reason they should not be equally useful to people in other groups.
