Attention archers, lovers of history and Renaissance Faires: Here is a "first person's" story of the battle of Agincourt in 1415 when the vastly outnumbered English beat the French soundly. The battle relied heavily on the archers.
The storyteller is one of the best archers I've ever seen. Kevin Hicks used to portray Robin Hood in the real Sherwood Forest and spent years relaying history and shooting a longbow at Warwick Castle in England.
Enjoy. There will be more videos coming from his History Squad.

Well met! I have published Renfest Info And Fun Podcast # 10. It is an interview with Careena Campbell

This podcast is another Easter egg for something coming in the near future. Stay tuned...

Oh, my! There will be a mid-week small, short Renfaire in Broken Arrow on Wednesday, June 4th. In Tulsa street terms, it will be on the southwest corner of 101st Street South & 145th East Avenue. If we can show the library system that they have something great on their hands, mayhems they will move it to a weekend...

Good day, fyne people. You can find Renfest Info And Fun podcast # 9 now on Apple, iHeart, Podbean, Amazon, Player FM and/or Podchaser.
This podcast with Dan Zielinski of the Jenks Planetarium discusses how many people in the Medieval & Renaissance times depended on tracking the stars to survive.
Have you heard of Copernicus? His contribution to earth is discussed as well. He was definitely a rebel who feared for his life due to his discovery.
Feel free to tune in & I wish you faire travels to your next event!
