Well, this was a Robin Hood themed fair, (and the local fair was none to
accurate on footwear. The general time period portrayed would then be
Medieval, the King was Richard the Lionheart (~1200 AD), though there
was plenty of anachronism to go around.with actors in Late Medieval
early renasance armor and a company of Renascence Landsknechts, parading
about. All in all about as confused about era as you'd expect an SCA
group to be. You don't have to explain the SCA to me, I used to hang
out with people who were members, I even managed to talk other people
into joining, never did myself. Too silly especially when you consider
that it was allowable to create a character from the Planet Gor, you
might as well allow characters from thePolysotechnic leage\ or the
Terran Empire.

I'll be boring you all with one more from the Renasanse Fest.
I couldn't figure out if thse two were paying customers or paid entertainers.
Their costumes seemed a bit too accurate but you never know.
At a glance I don't think those costumes would pass for cast at our local
renfaire.
No real bodice, and the one on the right looks like she's wearing purple.
They look like SCA, not renfaire. I'm way rusty, but I'd guess 14th century or
earlier for the one on the left. I can't place the period for the one on the
right. It's been 20 years since I played in the SCA regularly.

The difference is that rennies play it during the day for the run of faire,
playing for the customers. Scadians will play year round all weekend long at an
event, playing for each other. Also Renfaire (in theory) starts right when SCA
leaves off, around 1600, and Renfaires are usually set in England, while
Scadian personas are from pretty much any place in europe
Some of the first pictures I took with my K100Dsuper were of my helm when I
cleaned it up to give it to my nephew:
