Below are the new Chronique questions for issue #15--Fighting Techniques.
Chronique is a quarterly print journal dedicated to stimulating chivalric
discussion within the SCA and to promoting historical elements of
knighthood, chivalry & the tournament. We can be found at our resource
library at www.chronique.com--please stop by and drop us a note! We are
looking for more people to help with a rapidly expanding library on these
subjects.
The questions below will appear in issue #14, Consorts & the Gallery, and
are designed to prompt combatants and members of the gallery to consider
what they feel is important. You can respond directly through the web page
or by returning this email with your responses.
Everyone whose answers are selected for inclusion in #15 will receive a
FREE issue of our 68pp journal. Please don't forget to add your name,
address, and SCA persona to any reply, so that you can get your journal and
so that we can send you your copy of the journal. Thank you for your time
and we hope you enjoy both our web page and these questions!
