I am a living history reenactor focusing on the 16th Century period.
Part of my portrayal could be anything from cooking over the fire, sewing for myself or my household, weaving, or working the artillary line as either Captayne of a piece or as Master Gunner.
I was brought into the SCA by my Laurel, Master Roderic Hawkyns, and the first thing that he gave me when he saw that I was serious is the book Life in Elizabethan England, inside he wrote: before I can live the history, I need to first know the history. Over the last 12+ years I have been reading, learning, and living the history. Something that I am very proud of.
