Remembering Chivalry

Yesterday was the end of the shoot down here, and Erik finished his selfbow. Neither of us placed, but we still had lots of fun. Once we got back, we got lost in old movies, and I saw Ivanhoe for the first time and loved it. Right after that was Knights of the Round Table. I liked Ivanhoe better, but it still wasn't bad.

Robert Taylor reminds me a lot of Sir Elazar, but mostly in looks, I don't know Elazar well enough yet to tell whether or not he's quite as like Ivanhoe as I think he is, though I think he is...I think...

It's really cool to watch a movie like that and be so faimliar with all the terms in there because of the SCA. I mean, we actually use those words! But we use other things, too. The idea of chivalry isn't quite as foreign in the SCA as in the mundane world. People think that chivalry is dead in the mundane world, but come to an event, and you see it around every corner, and can even experience it firsthand.

Man, I can't wait to get back to an event! Duvant Defender is this weekend. It honors one of the best and most chivalrous fighters the Society has ever known. You can bet I'll be there!
