I checked iTunes, and the "Music of the Crusades" is available for download.  The other two were not as of yet.






And I figured I'd make my profile a bit more appropriate....at least until the Hospitalier is done!

You can also find these disc as "used" on Amazon which are fairly inexpensive.

beautiful

irrrrrrrr Off to do pentance stupid job. still going to play in the sand box this fall they can't take that away(for further understanding on this matter see the rant on random thoughts)

So I have another question or two for you, Dear Brothers.

The garb of the Hospitalier....dark brown or black?  I have seen both and read both as being "accurate one."  IS there a definitive version?

Right now I'm thinking of mixing the two...black tunic/pants under the dark brown surcoat and cape.

Swords....?  I'm scouring the 'bay for something to use.  At this point, I dont need anything functional.  Just something to hang on the hip (most Faires require the peace tie, so who's gonna see it) and will look good in a picture or two.  What do you use?

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Black would be your preferred look for a Brother of the Hospital. Brown although used by the Hospital, is known more in the other Orders and was usually reserved for Sergeants and associate Brothers. Early on they may have worn dark brown for availablitiy sake. The Hospitallers appear to be better later on at making everyone look the same, for the Team's sake. 

As for swords; something plain and simple. KoH blades, or Rene's blade from Soldier of God would serve well. Search Crusader swords amd seek the least flashy.

Used a little time at work this morning to conduct "outfitting/sizing" operations on a co-worker who will be in attendance on opening weekend of GARF. Should be able to modify this post later with a photo of this young, battle experienced (really), Templar Sergeant.

Ya know, I never noticed until just today, the KoH Hospitalier surcoat is black!  I always just saw it as brown like the cape.  So I guess that settles that!

As for the sword..I have been doing just that.  If you wouldnt mind sharing your opinions, I could post some links to the ones I'm looking at and get your thoughts, Brothers.

.....we have turkey legs

And if that doesnt convert them....try the mead!
