Lions Den VI – Bizarre Art and Naughty Marginalia

Join Pani Jadwiga Radomyskowa from the Thornwold Scriptorium as they teach us about marginalia!

Marginalia is one of the most recognizable features of medieval
manuscripts, and it ranges from the symbolic to the downright
bizarre. We will be looking at marginalia that is a little twisted,
a little weird and naughty. We will discuss why these images
were placed in beautiful manuscripts and even in holy books! We will cover Awful Art, Snails and Satire, and work that is Not Safe for the Current Middle Ages!
This presentation will feature art of people and creatures in
compromising poses, interactions and states of dress, so may
not be appropriate for children.

Lions Den – Barony of Lions Gate: History and Perspectives

Founded in AS XI, the barony of Lions Gate was an important part of An Tir’s growth from a distant, barbaric principality of the West to the independent kingdom that it is now.

For 26 years Gerhard and Amanda Kendal led us with wisdom and whimsy through trials and triumphs, and their legacy has been carried on by 10 more barons and baronesses who followed.

Join us as we look back through the eyes of some of those who have worn the baronial coronet at our storied past and sunny future, and enjoy a night of recollection and ruminations on the history of this place and its prominent citizens.
