Fru Ragnhild's Collegium

Today is the first day of our weekend event "Fru Ragnhild's Collegium". It is what would be calleda university in the SCA, focusing on theoretical, academic knowledge. We always have 5 lectures on saturday morning and afternoon. Unfortunately three of the intended lecturers cancelled on rather short notice so I had some trouble putting the programme together last week. Thanks to old reliable lecturers like Björn/Arnaud and Caroline/Elaine (pictures from last year's Fru Raghild's) and a brave new lecturer, Cis de Conway from the local SCA shire, Gotvik, who all came to my rescue we now actually have a programme which looks like this:

1. Aleydis: Population, country and town in medieval Sweden
2. Arnaud: Astronomy in the Middle Ages
3. Cis: Anglo-saxon dress 400-600

Lunch

4. Aleydis: Clothing as social sign in the middle ages
5. Elaine: Art as source for medieval and renaissance clothing, a source-critical approach.
(She used to be a PhD-student in art history before she got ill some years ago and this is her field.)

It all looks fine and dandy, except for one small thing: I haven't written my second lecture yet. I've written about the subject as you all know, but not enough for a 45 minutes lecture. I'm a afraid it will be too much a repetition of the lecture on clothes and gender I gave two years ago.
Well, Making that lecture is what I have to do today, though I'd much rather write on my new chapter.
