WELCOME TO MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE CURRENT MIDDLE AGES

What are the "Current Middle Ages"?
There was a time period in European history between the fall of the Roman empire and the High Renaissance, although many disagree about the exact dates that this time began and ended. This was the age of fuedalism, knighthood and chivalry. Heroes, some real and some fantastic, such as Arthur, Charlemagne and Beowulf were the stuff of legends. Real knights such as the Black Prince and William Marshall led lives that were well documented. The Current Middle Ages are an attempt to re-create some of the ideals of that time and understand it's realities. The official name of our organization is "The Society for Creative Anacronism"

The Society for Creative Anacronism is a non-profit organization devoted to learning about the Middle Ages by practicing the arts and sciences of the period. In order to focus our studies we select a "persona" of a person would could have existed in the middle ages and try to learn as much as possible about what that person's life would have been like.

In the Current Middle Ages I am known as Baron Johann Von Rothenburg. I am a 14th Century German who has travelled to the Holy Land, Italy and France among other places.
In the SCA I am Squired to Duke Olaf Askoldson and have been involved for since around September of 1981. Sometimes more active...sometimes less. I am currently a Deputy Earl Marshal for the Kingdom of Atlantia.
My interests include (but are not limited to): SCA Heavy Fighting , Blacksmithing, Armoring, Leatherworking, Woodworking, Calligraphy and Illumination.

Baroness Yamanouchi Akiko, (my wife) is a beautiful 14th century Japanese lady who has travelled from japan through China and the middle East (where I met Her) as handmaiden for a Princess of China brought back to the holy land by an Italian wanderer named Marco Polo.
Her interests include (but are not limited to): Costuming, Weaving, Blackwork and Embroidery, Combat Archery and (formerly) a bit of SCA heavy fighting.

The badge of Haus von Rothenburg, a great group of folks that participate in the SCA together helping each other learn more about the past. A poem I wrote about the badge.

Our local group was the Canton of Falcon Cree (Greenville, SC USA) http://www.mindspring.com/~shines1/falcon.html but we are forming the incipient Canton of St. George's Keep a part of the Barony of Nottinghill Coill (Western SC USA) http://www.mindspring.com/~shines1/nottingh.html Go to the SCA homepage at : http://www.sca.org for more general info on the current middle ages or the Atlantian kingdom homepage at http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/atlantia.html Another fine resource for those interested in Chivalry and Knighthood is http://www.chronique.com/index.htm The Knighthood, Chivalry and Tournements Index.
