A Squire's path to Knighthood : Be welcome

Be welcome

To those reading this after following my post from stuff nation:

It's the same person, this is my hobby most of the gear I have I made myself (with bargain fabric or op shop's) apart from a few pieces I bought after winning a competition at Mitre 10, 3 almost 4 years ago (just to hopefully circumvent the hate that someone with a hobby can be unemployed) my hobby keeps me sane when not looking for work.

Leonhart is a Pseudonym, I do this because I don't want to individualized by the media as that was not the point of the story.

Please enjoy my work, I have never had this many hits on my blog.

Clearly Leonhart you have a lot of skills and a huge wealth of knowledge on this topic alone. Can you be a consultant in this field? This could be nationally or internationally. Google monetising your blog. You clearly have a future as a writer or researcher. Or maybe making props? There is a free Film course offered by SIT. Definitely get together a portfolio of your work. Talk with Peter Jackson, serious! I think you can do the most amazing things if you follow your skills (funnily enough many of your blog posts reiterate that!). Good luck!! (Retrogirl1 on Stuff)

It's a very tough industry to get into, most of the jobs are though dead man's boots. I have tried and will keep trying as my skills improve. thanks for the encouragement.

My name is Lord Leonhart Hunt, A Doppelsöldner sworn to service as a Landsknecht (servant of the land), I studied customs of the landsknecht the ways of the Pike and sword, the mysteries of the Great Sword and new inventions to come from our noble artisans the aquabus. "these were heady times" Ranks upon ranks of brother in arms marching for the greater glory of the Germanic empire, But all good things must come to an end, After Georg von Frundsberg death the Landsknechts ranks fell into disrepute.
Alas hard times were ahead, work was sparse due to a very successful misinformation campaign by the spanish, we were relegated to protecting caravans, while still necessary work it was not the landsknechts I was born into.
In service of a Dutch nobleman, our position was betrayed and a trap laid for us. Our noble employer wishing to deny us our due payment made a deal with our Spanish adversaries. The baggage train and camp followers were decimated while we faced off against a diversionary force. We broke off to come to their aid.... Too late. We all swore to fight to the last, surrounded, low of supplies and greatly outnumbered we drove the treacherous Spanish off but at great cost.
The cost was lasting and telling, my unit destroyed, Hopes dashed I journeyed to Lochac to begin again and hopefully find better fortunes in this new land.

I am a member of the incipient canton of Wildmoor a part of the Barony of Southron Gaard in the Kingdom of Lochac.

My platitudes include Squire to Philippe de Tourney, Henksman of the Court for the Barony of Southron Gaard, Award of arms, Order of the Silver Helm, Heavy Marshal, Target Archery Marshal and Baronal Cheesemaker.

I hope to one day earn the honor of being recognised as a Knight in the society for creative anachronism.
