I have had an interest in Medieval History for many years and received my B.A. from the University of Toronto in the subject in 1985. My primary current interests are the history of the Jews of Medieval Spain, Medieval Swordsmanship and the music of the time.
I am a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a Medieval and Rennaisance Re-enactment group. The SCA period of re-enactment is pre-17C Western Civilization. In the SCA each participant creates for themselves a "persona". This is who they are when they take part in SCA activities. It cannot be an actual historical person.

I am also interested in Medieval Swordsmanship. There has been a remarkable increase in people and groups devoted to developing this as both an area of study and a Martial Art. Click here to go to my Swords and Swordsmanship web site.
