No other site offers such a comprehensive group of portraits. I have found detail after detail of renaissance dress on this site. I love it almost as much as pearls!

An excellent site filled with detailed information on Tudor history.  It includes a wonderful Who's Who section along with a rather amazing selection of Chronicles written in the time period.  Other points of interest are Architecture, Maps, Genealogical Trees,   with much fun to be found in the Tudor Humor.

Stunningly beautiful, exquisite,sculptures, called Mingardise Pandore, which are  dolls carved in ivory.  Esther Brassc's dolls are extreemly detailed works of art.  There are also very interesting pages on costuming with a great page on Farthingales.

Boots by Bohemond www.highfiber.com/~bohemond/
Custom and ready to wear boots that meet SCA specifications.  Fine workmanship and design are offered. The Persain Boots are particulary eye catching, as they are not your "basic" boot.  There are also the jaw slacking, gotta have one, drinking horns.   And check out the Poulaines, you can get them square toe or split toes!!

Darksword Armory - Swords and Armor
Darksword Armory offers historically accurate museum referenced period weaponry. The quality of their hand forged blades and amour show their commitment to historical accuracy. Each sword replica is researched through examples found in museums, private collections, and other historical sources. They are making me a very nice rapier and are very nice people to deal with!

Renaissance festival is a great site for finding out which faries are current. Also has a good forum and interesting articles on various interesting topics.

Bad Astronony.com/
