== Introduction ==
<div>Norbert visited the society in college, but wandered off to be responsible. Late in life Katharine of Ravenshill plied him with horses and archery (and mounted archery!) to return to the dream.

== Persona ==

Norbert is ''usually'' Yuan dynasty Mongol.  Depending on the weather, the phase of the moon and the reports of local augurs, Norbert can also be 16th century Spanish, or Venetian or even English.

== Offices ==

None. Responsibilities are for mundane life. I participate in the dream to avoid responsibility. The name “Norbert the irresponsible” cannot be registered. Norbert Dolittle is the closest that the society allows.

Authorized as equestrian ground crew, rider, lancer and mounted archer. 

== Publications & research ==

<div>My primary current research involves [https://sites.google.com/markcwallace.net/fiores-mounted-plays/home?read_current=1 Fiore's mounted plays]; lance work from horseback, designed for the solo SCA Equestrian.The following are in maintenance mode. I welcome comments and suggested additions, as well as opportunities to re-use</div>
<div>

[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LToLzyU3r_1xwZ0a34-K4DNYW_qaZAc6wdwGOBm0r2g/edit?usp=sharing A (quick) history of Mounted Archery] (need to add Avars and Hungarians). May wish to add "how to fight against mounted archers?" although that might fit better in a future class on warfare for those who don't care.

<div>Open poll for what I research next:<p>(advisory only) What should I prepare for the next University?</p>
*"Warfare for those who don't care" - a brief, abstract history of warfare for those who are turned off by military terminology and charts.  Why fight? What's the goal?  Why doesn't it work?  
*Explore Mongol history
*Explore history of money 
*Something else
</div>

== Activities ==

For each of the following, I have far more enthusiasm than skill.

* Equestrian
* Archery
* Horse archery

== In case of Court ==
Check your facts. Verify that the request does not come from the Lord of Misrule. Examine whoever makes this suggestion for signs of heatstroke, exhaustion or a pathological break with reality. Check to see if it is April Fools. Does the king hold the throne by force of arms?

If by some bizarre clerical error Norbert Dolittle is needed in court, check with Lady Katharine  Ravenshill.</div>

== Introduction ==
Norbert visited the society in college, but wandered off to be responsible. Late in life Katharine Ravenshill plied him with horses and archery (and mounted archery!) to return to the dream.

== Persona ==
Although normally a Mongolonian from the Yuan dynasty, but depending on the weather, the phase of the moon and the auguries performed by the reclusive monks of dragonstone cave, Norbert may be 16th century Spanish, English, or something else.

== Offices & Positions ==

None. Responsibilities are for mundane life. I participate in the dream to avoid responsibility. The name “Norbert the irresponsible” cannot be registered. Norbert Dolittle is the closest that the society allows.

I am authorized as equestrian ground crew, rider, lancer and mounted archer.
