Introduction

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 

The following are in maintenance mode. I welcome comments and suggested additions, as well as opportunities to re-use

A (quick) history of Mounted Archery (need to add Avars and Hungarians)

Equestrian activities for  Non Riding Persons

Research in progress

• Rethinking the silk road  Bibliography

In planning 

• How the English used horses in war.

Open poll for what I research next:

(advisory only) What should I prepare for the next University?

• Explore history of warfare
• Explore Mongol history
• Explore state formation 
• Explore history of money ( will attempt to be nonpolitical)
• Something else

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.
