Welcome to the website of Gryffith and Aikaterine
Thank you for visiting Us! The year is 1416… Pageantry is a source of delight. The great and the wealthy of the Kingdom show displays of grandeur that illustrate their power. Games of physical strength and skill are prevalent, including hawking, hunting, archery, football (yes, football), and the tournament. Love of finery is shown in ever more extravagant clothing and accessories, decorated with fine embroideries. Hats become more ornate and are seen on everyone from noble to commoner. The tournament is a notable event attracting much attention, filled with heralds, pageantry, audiences, and other trappings of order, together with entertainment, and is taken very seriously as training for war. Prizes are often given out to the victorious. Hounds are man's best friend and an important part of daily life. Quiet sources of delight include dice, board games, table games, and cards. Music, literature, and drama are everywhere, with topics ranging from romance and acts of chivalry to politics, mysticism, and mortality. |
