== Introduction ==
A minstrel by trade and a fool in my spare time. Playing SCA since 1989. Done a little spear fighting, combat archery and rapier back in the day. I mostly do music these days and a little merchanting. I've got a pretty good collection of European medieval & renaissance instruments (SATB crumhorns, SAT recorders, 7-course lute, 4-course citole, 22-string harp, 2-octave portative organ, 2-octave plucked psaltery, jaw harps, whistles, and assorted hand percussion). I can even play some of them. I particularly dig the music of Cantigas de Santa Maria, various Trouvere tunes, the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, and monophonic secular music. Though I've also done some madrigal singing, dabbled in English Country Dance, Arbeau's Orchésographie, some Ravenscroft and other renaissance composers/publishers. In spite of all this, I'm mostly known for playing guitar and singing goofy songs about farts and poop.

== Persona ==
Late 12th century England, Normandy, Aquitaine, and Anjou. An itinerant musician sometimes in the patronage of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester. It's not a very lucrative position because I don't speak very good French. Also, Earl Robert helped lead a revolt against Henry II back in 1173 and is out of favor at Court. But it's not a bad gig. I got to visit Queen Eleanor's court once. (She's out of favor with the king too). That was pretty forsooth, verily.
