was just notified of this so I am in deep need of help. I tried the Polish
Hussarr's website but no answer from them so any help greatly appreciated.

Congratulations! I wish you and your bride the best!

If you are not looking for specific boots, but could use simple knee-high boots,
you could also check one of the online women's plus size providers (I like
WomenWithin [http://www.womanwithin.com/], but their associated vendor,
OneStopPlus [http://www.onestopplus.com/] has links to several companies).

If you are looking for specific boots, maybe the nice people at Rising Sun
Leather [http://www.etsy.com/shop/risingsunleather?ref=seller_info_count] can
help you. I've emailed the owner and will be purchasing from him when I have the
funds. I've heard really good reviews of his work from several SCA friends that
have his boots.

Good luck with your hunt. Let us know how you do and be sure to post pictures in
our files when you are finished ;)

Greetings and a bow from Sofya!

I've shifted my SCA articles to a new web host with a simpler and more
sensible name:  http://sofyalarus.info
The Russian stuff is at http://sofyalarus.info/Russia

The old URLs will still work, but I won't be updating the articles at
the old site apart from adding "re-direct" messages once I get FTP
access again.  (Hence the change to a new web host.)

I've drastically changed the appearance of the pages, although the
content is essentially the same.  Please let me know if you find
broken links or images that I missed in the 3-day-long transition.

At your service,

Sofya

Hello!
My name is Jadwiga, and I'm in the SCA from the kingdom of An Tir! I found
this group while looking for information about my persona! I'm fairly new
to the SCA, so I'm still getting my bearings. When I joined the SCA with my
hubby, and the matter of persona's came up, we decided on 16th C Polish,
because we had been to Poland a few years back, and fell in love with the
country. How little did we know that late-period Poland is really hard to
research....if you are a woman. It's been pretty easy to find what he
should wear...but not me. I swear sometimes, it seems like women barely
existed back then!

That being said, I would LOVE any help that folks might be able to provide
in helping me research my persona! Right now I'm working on clothing, but I
would like to learn as much about society and customs as I can, as I will
be trying out for Golden Swan (An Tir Persona award) in a few years, the
more I know, the better!

As far as my persona goes, I've put myself at 1569 Poland, in or near Krakw.
My husbands Persona is a hussar, if that is relevant.

So yeah, that's me, and my pitiful cry for help, as well as a hearty
welcome!

Do zobaczenia,
  Jadwiga

Witam Jadwiga,

Though my persona would be dead, buried, and well decomposed by the time your
persona was born , here are my suggestions:
- Pick up "God's Playground" and "The Polish Way". They are great high level
thumbnails of Polish history with a good number of pages devoted to your period
of interest. If you want to get into the mindset of the szlachta during that
time, read The Trilogy (or at least "With Fire and Sword"), and there is a great
chapter in "God's Playground" as well.

- As far as clothing is concerned, start with the royals and work your way
out/down. The one that came to mind immediately was Anna Jagiellon. By that
point in history personal portraiture was common amongst the elite and therefore
something to be consulted. I can't tell you much about construction of said
garments, or the layers involved, and I would suggest find women in your kingdom
portraying similar timeframes as there are similarities in other countries.

- If you really want to dive that deep into persona, pick up as much as you can
concerning the details of your persona. Where are they living? How and what do
they eat? What do they do? What is their social status? Do they have an
"overlord"? Flesh all of this out. At this point in time in Poland your
religious views would be of interest as well. None of this is to be told to
anyone directly, per se, but these are the types of things that you internalize
to make your outward portrayal more accurate.

Good luck,
Jan

Katrusha,
I know you've spent a lot of time in kitchens -- would you be willing to help
Alysander with food prep? I have no idea what his plans are as of yet, since
we're still looking at the Haus schedule and don't know the day at this time
(his plans will probably depend on what battles are that day since he also
fights). He'll have a complete plan, I'm sure, but extra hands are always
going to be welcome...

Being in the kitchen is one of my favorite places to be. I would be more
than happy to help out, even if it is only washing dishes along the way so
they don't build up.

Also, there are a couple without names.

***********************************************
List Basics

** What is sig@yahoogroups.com?
The SIG List (hereafter called "SIG-L") provides a discussion forum on the
history and culture of the Medieval Slavic, Eastern European, and Central
European world.  We are aimed specifically towards members of the Society for
Creative Anachronism (SCA) with Slavic, Eastern European and Central European
personas, but we provide information and resources to anyone.

** Are SIG-L and the Slavic Interest Group the same organization?
No.  SIG-L is an offshoot of the larger and older Slavic Interest Group
(hereafter called "SIG").  SIG-L was established as an additional way for
members of SIG to talk to each other more quickly than via the quarterly
newsletter.  Not all the members of SIG are on SIG-L and vice versa.  This means
that if you are a member of SIG-L, it does not automatically make you a member
of SIG.  To become a member of SIG, write to the SIG organizer at
goldschp@... or go to http://slavic.freeservers.com and follow the links
there.  Membership is free.  We just ask that you be willing to share what you
know with the rest of us.

** What cultures does SIG-L cover?
SIG-L (and SIG) covers all the former members of the Soviet Union (just for
convenience, no political agenda is implied).  We encompass the medieval
cultures of Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Transylvania, Latvia, Lithuania,
Karelia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Great Moravia, Croatia, Serbia,
Bosnia, Dalmatia, Albania, Poland, Estonia, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia,
Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Kirgizistan, Kazakhstan, Turkestan,
Khazaria, and any related ethnic groups.  We aren't _just_ a Slavic
organization, it is just simpler to call ourselves "SIG" instead of trying to
incorporate the initials of all the countries and groups we cover.

** You mentioned a newsletter...
SIG publishes "Slovo", our quarterly newsletter.  "Slovo" means "word" in many
Slavic languages, so we thought it would be a good name for the newsletter.  It
comes out in the middle of the months of January, April, July and October.  The
submission deadlines are the first of those same months.  Slovo is available
free on the web off the main SIG page.  Back issues are also archived there.  If
you need a paper copy, write to the editor at goldschp@....  Paper copies
are also free, but donations are cheerfully accepted to cover copying and
mailing costs.

** Does SIG-L have archives?
Yes, the archives are at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sig

** What can I talk about here on SIG-L?
Anything relating to pre-1650 CE (approximately) Slavic or Eastern or Central
European history and culture or anything Slavic, Eastern European or Central
European as it pertains to the SCA is welcome here.  Sometimes we talk about
modern subjects, which is okay as long as we generally stay on topic.  Feel free
to start a new topic, ask questions or debate a subject.  We have beginners on
the List as well as advanced and professional researchers, but everyone is
friendly and we all welcome questions and subjects at any level.

** What is not permitted on the list?
a)  Personal Flamewars.  Debating a subject is fine, heated argument is not.
b)  Personal Attacks/Rudeness.  Attack the argument, not the author.
c)  Ethnic, Regional, Racist, and Cultural insults.  This is absolutely not
acceptable here.
d)  SPAM.  This includes chain letters, appeals from charities, virus warnings,
etc.
e)  UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email).  Commercial posts are allowed if they
are pre-approved by one of the moderators.

**  What are the basic commands for this list?
SIG-L is based off YahooGroups, a web-based provider.  Through YahooGroups
(http://www.yahoogroups.com) you can subscribe, unsubscribe and otherwise manage
your account.  Simply enter your email address and the password you were given
when you subscribed and follow the directions there.  If you are not yet a
member, follow the directions given there to sign up for an account.

**  What if I don't have web-access or don't want to use the YahooGroups
website?
Not a problem, you can still manage your subscription easily (and you don't even
need a password).  Send a blank email (no message or subject) to the appropriate
address below:

sig-subscribe@yahoogroups.com - subscribe to SIG
sig-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com - unsubscribe from SIG
sig-digest@yahoogroups.com - switch your subscription to digest mode
sig-normal@yahoogroups.com - switch your subscription to normal mode

Be sure to reply to any message that YahooGroups sends you about your account
(and save your password if you were given one!).  If you don't reply,
YahooGroups may think you didn't want to really subscribe/unsubscribe/change
your settings.  This is a safety precaution done to prevent subscribers from
being the victims of pranksters.

**I'm on the digest.  How do I reply to separate messages?
To reply to a message found on the digest, 'cut' the contents of the message
that you wish to quote, 'paste' it in a message to sig@yahoogroups.com, and add
your comments.  Make sure you do NOT reply directly to the From: field on the
digest!  If this becomes a habit, then you will be put on a moderated status and
misdirected replies will be silently deleted.

**I think that someone is being rude and insulting!  What can I do?
First, try reading the post again.  Sometimes it is hard to tell what a person
is really saying because of the difficulties of communicating using email.  It
also helps if you read all the posts on a subject before you respond, especially
if you get the digest.  Sometimes the concern has already been addressed.

If you still have a problem with what is being said, you have two options:
a) Talk to a moderator about your concerns.  It is their job is to handle stuff
like this.
b) Reply to the sender of the message without flaming

**What is "flaming"?
Flaming is a post, usually containing an argument or reply, that serves only to
exacerbate the situation.  If you have written something in the heat of anger,
irritation or excitement please re-read the post and take out the elements of
possible insult while getting the logic of your point across.  Flaming is a big
"no-no" on this List and offenders will be put on probation and moderated
(messages will be reviewed by a moderator before being sent to the List). 
Overstepping the bounds of civility and courtesy, on mistake or on purpose, will
not be tolerated.  If the flaming continues, the offender(s) will be banned
permanently.

**I think we are drifting off topic/I think this list is too advanced for me.
If you are concerned that the topic has drifted, feel free to restate the
original topic and try to get everyone back on track. Just do it in a polite
manner.  As for concerns about the List being too advanced, please ask questions
about what you don't understand.  You will find people are very willing to
explain and clarify.  While it is true that sometimes the discussions can get a
bit esoteric, please remember that this List is aimed towards all levels of
research interest.

**Anything else I should know?
a) Please clip your posts!  This means only quoting what is relevant to your own
post and not including the entire letter unless absolutely necessary (which is
extremely rare).  It gets very annoying very quickly to have to page down
through an entire letter (or more!) that someone has stuck on the end of their
reply.

b) Keep subject lines relevant.  If a message thread has evolved to something
that has nothing to do with the original subject, please feel free to change the
subject line to something more appropriate.

***********************************************
Research

** Can you recommend some books for different eras and peoples?
There is an extensive bibliography (with notes) on the web at the main SIG page 
You can also write to the list and ask for recommendations or reviews of
specific books, but it is a lot faster if you look at the SIG bibliography
first.

** Where can I find help developing my persona?
You are in luck!  There are several web pages that members of SIG-L have
created.  We call them Knowledge Pages.  They are aimed towards a specific
country and include information on dress, food, naming practices, persona
development, history, language and other themes.  Simply find the Knowledge Page
you wish and read, read, read!

**What are "the Knowledge Pages?"
They are a series of country-based web pages that are organized using similar
subject categories to aid research. Here you can find information on a wide
variety of subjects such as food, dress, persona development, history and much
more.  You can find the Knowledge Pages under our "Links" on YahooGroups, or
visit the main SIG page.

** Where can I find someone near me?
Feel free to ask on SIG-L!  This is also where becoming a member of SIG comes in
handy.  SIG maintains a member list that lists name, location, interests and
contact information.  You can simply scan the list and contact whomever you
choose.  It is linked off the main SIG page under "members".

**  Are there recipes for my culture? Where would I find them?
**  Where can I get ideas for clothing from my culture?
**  What about music and art?

To all the above: First, check out the appropriate Knowledge Page for the
culture in question.  You might also want to check out the Florilegium, a major
collection of messages arranged by subject headings.  The Florilegium is at
http://www.florilegium.org/
If you can't find answers there, try writing to the List.

We hope this FAQ has been helpful.  If you have any further questions or
suggestions, please let us know.

Happy Researching!

I'm trying to assist a friend in researching information for a paper she's
working on & I was hoping to get a little assistance here :)

The information she needs is what a Russian slave would have called his/her
owner. I'm used to seeing the information for "Master" for the SCA but that's
more for craftspeople than slave owners so it's not what she needs. If anyone
might have any info or suggestions on where to start looking, I'd greatly
appreciate it.

Thank you!

Greetings from Sofya to Katerinka,

Apparently you haven't been to my website, in particular -
http://sofyalarus.info/Russia/titlesmastery.html

At the bottom of the page, you'll find information about master/slave titles.

It's that time of year! April 15th is the deadline to submit classes for the
book.

So... Thoughts? Who's teaching? WHAT are you teaching? What would you like to
see taught? What do you desperately need someone to help you with?

Again, the SIG meeting will be at the Haus Von Drakenklaue (VDK) camp in B-05
one evening of War Week. Just not sure which night yet. There will be food,
but feel free to bring food/drink to share, as well as projects, books, etc.

Cheers,
Sfandra Dmitrieva

Good day Sofya!

Actually I had been to your website.. but I hate to say that I was on the older
one, not the newer one having forgotten completely about it. Thank you for the
reminder!

And thanks to Halbrust for the suggestion on the letter, I'll definitely look
over that as well.

Thank you both very much for the suggestions!
Kat

Ivan and I are planning to go and since we will be crown at that time our
schedule is going to be hectic so I will probably only teach Documentation
since that is one of the easier ones for me to teach even when tired.

We will put the SIG meeting on our calendar but since we do no know our
travel/Royal schedule yet it will be tentative for a bit.

Greetings!

The text has at least one notable mistake.
"Vyatichi woman in a ribbon and rings headwear" could not have been a part of 11
century Vyatichi, as the source of the re-creation was the excavations in
Dmitrov (it's noted in the Russian text) - and the town was founded 1154 by Yuri
Dolgoruki (the founder of Moscow). Not to mention that even the Russian text for
this picture goes as "Ре­кон­струк­ция ко­стю­ма и
укра­ше­ний мо­ло­дой жен­щи­ны из
Дмит­ро­ва, ко­нец XII ве­ка - на­ча­ло XIII
ве­ка." - i.e. the author of the English translation is 1 century off the
real info. Why she did so? My guess is that she has read some reference book
entry on the history of Dmitrov, stating that the town was founded where some
Slavic settlements had already been. But the text under Fyodorov's
re-construction  states clearly "12 - early 13 century"

Hope that helps.
Bye,
Alex.
