Hallowed Hippology - Equos toto orbe terrarum
Marc examined selected plates and accompanying text through the lens of practical instruction on the usage of the weapons and techniques, and how those techniques connect to the Kunst des Fecten (KDF) tradition, with additional comments regarding how the clothing and weapons affect the choices and application of techniques.
I'm known in the SCA as Duke Marc de Arundel, KSCA. I've been involved in armored combat for 21 years, starting first in Cynagua, and then moved to the Barony of Darkwood in the principality of the Mists, where I've lived for the last 11 years. My major focus is studying and interpreting period fight manuals, primarily Joachim Meyer's 1570 book, and "MS Dresd.C.487", a composite work that includes Sigmund ain Ringeck's gloss of the "Kunst de Fechten" tradition of longsword and Andre Ligntizter's work on sword and buckler, dated between 1504 and 1519. I then work to apply the techniques and strategic lessons from the period sources to SCA combat.
I have previously released two written works on the subject, "Heavy Longsword in the Style of Joachim Meyer", and "A Brief Examination of Period Sword and Buckler for SCA Combat"
