History, Customs and Manners 2012 version

You're assuming....

During parade, I can assure you that should you join the Rogues in their line, you will indeed NOT be fondling Wenches  as we stand in our line. Ogling, certainly, fondling, notsomuch...

[DonaCatalina]

... a little birdie told me that the topics are still being hashed out.

[SirRichardBear]

I'm glad to see there is still a lot of interest in the lectures.

[Merlin]

I'm going to have to attend some classes this year...I need some cooth

[Merlin the Elder]

I've been telling your mother that for years...

[DonaCatalina]

Said the lass to her little lad "My dear son, I see in truth,
that you are lacking in needed cooth."

The boy replied "I must admit in sooth,
that I thought you meant I was lacking a tooth."

[VIII]

We could all stand to be a bit 'coother'

...

especially when I'm 'round that Rogues Line...

[Merlin]

Cooth is the new cool

[raevyncait]

We could all stand to be a bit 'coother'

...

especially when I'm 'round that Rogues Line...

::giggle::
as if you ever even see the Rogues, what with the Wench line being directly across from them, and on your side of the parade route.

Greetings, my friends! Well, we are just a few short days away from Opening Cannon, and I will be your friendly neighborhood HC&M liaison for this year. If you don't know me, my name is Matt and I play the role of Thomas Cromwell.

All of the show performers would very much like to thank you all for your interest and active participation in the History Customs and Manners Show. We are very excited to have the opportunity to see you all again this year and are now actively soliciting subjects about which you would like to hear more. They can be anything - repeats from previous shows, things we may have touched lightly on, or completely new topics. Feel free to throw ideas out in this forum, and I'll collect them and pass them on.

Appearing regularly in the HC&M Show this year will be:
His Grace, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk
Secretary of State and Chancellor of the Exchequer Thomas Cromwell
Latimer Fairfield, Captain of the Sea Hawk & Baron of Suscerland
Margaret Lee, Lady Lee
Owen Fairfield, Boatswain's Mate of the Sea Hawk
Penelope Weaver, Master Weaver

Our first show's topic will be "Welcome to the Sixteenth Century - a compendium of notes and miscellany of life in our times"
Second show shall be "Sixteenth Century Belief systems"

After that, we shall be alternating between topics we feel like nattering about, and ones you wish us to natter on about

Look forward to seeing you all very soon on the magical grounds of Scarborough.

Cheers,

Matt

Having read through all of the posts, I have gleaned the following as possible topics for the show:

1.   The role of children during this time. Their education, death rate, 'day in the life' of different social class' children, etc.
2.   Myths and legends that were popular in 1533 - King Arthur and Robin Hood were popular but what were some of the others?
3.   Everyday food and beverages. How did foods vary between the classes?
4.   The difference between Pirates and Privateers, and a general discussion of both
5.   Court manners (giving reverance), court dress, court life
6.   Knightly virtues and the Chivalric Code.
7.   Music and Dance of the times.

Feel free to add to the list, and I'll keep a compilation of suggestions. Thanks for your input so far - we appreciate it!

Cheers,

Matt

[DonaCatalina]

Thank you for putting on the show and responding to our suggestions.

[Drac]

Think this is a great idea and would enjoy seeing them.

Amy suggests a contemporary politics session.  Most playtrons may know Margret is Henry's sister but how many of the partrons?   

There are a lot of people in the Court that leave most people scratching their heads or looking to the Tudor's show for answers.

You're awesome Matt, thanks so much for taking consideration of peoples suggestions! It was great to have the other HCM liasons prior to you and it makes me really happy to see that the tradition is continuing.

...the first thing I need to find out is, if Their Majesties come to our renewal, what we need to do to keep from losing our heads...Who's Chief of Protocol for HRM?
