Within the Society for Creative Anachronism I am known as Fáelán Ruadh ua Aodha, and so some of the papers published here will be under that name.
And yes, I acknowledge the anglicized bastardization of the non-grammar correct order of my pen name. It is this way for English usage in order to be addressed by my name Rua in conversation. Note that my Gaelic name used in the SCA is structured in the order as would be expected for the language in it's historical context. In both circumstances those familiar with me would address me as Rua/Ruadh.edit

This document itself was for an SCA Arts & Science competition. Within you will find a brief introduction to what a horn book is, its history, and how a modern version was made.

This paper is a document for an Arts & Science competition within the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Thus, it is presented in such a way as to show the history of this weave pattern, particularly in the Iron Age. The item woven in this document is a sleeping pad made out of alpaca rug yarn. Within you will find information on the archeology of this pattern in the Iron Age, and how to create a peg loom that will weave this pattern.

This is a documentation for a Norse Merchant Hat that was to be submitted for an Arts & Science competition in the Society for Creative Anachronism. It being inspired from the various "Norse Hats" seen sold for reenactments. Upon attempting to document this hat in order to submit it for the competition I found that there was serious lack of evidence for it even existing. Within are my findings on what was found with regards to what was actually worn and how the clothing of the time compares to the Modern Reenacting "Norse Hat".
