Interests and SCA-related hobbies

Azemars has been known to pick up a sword in times of war, but is most devoted to the arts of peace. He is passionate about Heraldry, Costuming, Needlework and has a most lordly appetite on feast days, for which he has had to learn his way about the kitchens. He loves to teach and assist in research, and once served as Chatelaine for the Shire if Silver Keep.

Activities: Period Religion, Costuming, Herbalism, Embroidery, Cooking and I am very open to try everything once!

My research interests are: The Investiture Controversy, The Crusades, Monasticism, Scholasticism, The Avignon Papacy, Pilgrimage, Processions, and in art history, I study the concept of holy space in art, specifically in the gothic era cathedrals.
