reetings unto the populace of Bright Hills. Your Baron and Baroness continue to think of everyone, and we hope is that all are doing well in these times of isolation. With limited interaction we hope that everyone is finding some way to maintain your spirit. As this G continues, we appreciate those that are showing their arts via the magic box and “book of faces”. Our thoughts are with our chosen family. Atlantia has a new King and Queen, Anton and Luned. Vivat Atlantia! As we continue to work on projects and try to share them with others, we find joy in the projects that are being shared. We look forward to the end of this and gathering with our family and celebrating all that we have done in these times of isolation. The Baroness and I wish that everyone stays safe. As this continues, remember the Bright Hills motto, “Only the best from Bright Hills.” We ask that you carry this with you everyday in interactions with everyone as others will react differently to the stress of the current events. We hope that all strive to be the best and remember those that are under new levels of anxiety because of the isolation and the pandemic. Again, we look forward to the day we can safely gather together and celebrate all that is Bright Hills.

Yours in Service, Godai Katsunaga and Wanda the Wanderer Baron and Baroness of Bright Hills

The Yeoman page 4 Message from Pennsic 49 Mayor Sir Gregory Lochswan (OP)

G’Day Everyone, COVID-19 is touching all of our lives and at this time our primary concern is the safety and well-being of our Pennsic Attendees, Cooper’s Lake Family and Staff:, the entire Community of people in and around Cooper’s Lake Campground we interact and depend upon, and our numerous vendors who supply our event. They are all part of the “Pennsic-War-Family”. When I took on the office of Mayor of Pennsic 49, I promised to, and was entrusted with, the welfare and safety of the entire Pennsic Family. It is therefore with great sadness that I must inform you today that, we have decided to postpone Pennsic 49, scheduled for July 24, 2020 through August 9, 2020 to July 30, 2021 through August 15, 2021. This postponement will come as heartbreaking news to many of you – and it has been an exceedingly difficult decision for us to make. Since the first Pennsic Wars at Cooper’s Lake we have been so proud to welcome people from all over the Knowne World to beautiful lands of Æthelmearc, but this year, sadly we cannot gather together as before. As many of you have read in my previous COVID-19 updates, the impact of this terrible pandemic has effects that reach far past just those that attend Pennsic War. I will not go into all our considerations here again, you can all read my previous two posts that outline many of the factors we considered before making this decision. However, on this one occasion the emotion of Pennsic needed to be removed and the hard decision made. It has been arranged with Cooper’s Lake Management, that those who have preregistered for Pennsic 49 may have their registrations rolled over to 2021. If you desire a refund, please go to www.cooperslake.com and log into your pre-registration account. Even if we cannot be together this July, we remain optimistic that the situation will soon improve. I know we are all very worried about the impact that COVID-19 is having on our loved ones and daily lives. My Pennsic team and I send you our very best wishes. We cannot wait to share time together at Cooper’s Lake again with you all.

Yours, Sir Gregory of Loch Swan Mayor Pennsic 49

The Yeoman page 7 Calligraphy Ink by Baroness Aemilia Rosa

any times people look at an illuminated manuscript and the illumination is the first thing that catches the casual observer’s eye. The calligraphy might get noticed but Moften it is the paint and the pretty gold that is on the paper that captures the attention of many people. Did you know that there is also a rich history in the type of ink that was used for the calligraphy? Just as there were many ways to make pigments for paint, there were recipes for making ink for writing, and there still is today. The most color of ink used was black. There were several variations but one of the more commonly used ones was Iron-gall Ink. Iron-gall ink was the the most common writing ink used from the 12th - 19th centuries. Iron-gall ink was made by using the galls found from oak trees, water, gum arabic and iron sulfate. Galls were mixed with water which would release tannins, which released with the iron sulfate, would produce the dark color. The gum arabic was added to aid in the flow of the ink for the Gospels, Eastern Mediterranean (Constantinople), dated 1285 quills, and later for the dip pen. (colophon), 190 x 155 mm, Evangelist portrait of John Burney 20, Another common and older black used was Carbon f. 226v black, which has also been referred to as Lamp black to others. Carbon black is one of the oldest of inks, make a quart and a quarter of a pint more, then take six having been used on , clay, bone and animal ounces of gauls beaten into small pouder and sifted through skin. The famous Dead Sea Scrolls were written in a sive, put this pouder into a pot by it selfe, and poure halfe Carbon black. Black was made by scraping off the the water, wine and vineger into it, take likewise foure carbon from burned wood and mixed with water and ounces of vietriall, and beat it into pouder, and put it also in gum from a tree. a pot by it selfe, whereinto put a quarter of the wine, water, and vineger that remaineth, and to the other quarter, put The following is from A Booke of Secrets.

If there remaine any dregs behind, poure some raine water that hath stand long in a tub or vessell into it, for the older the water is, the better it is, and keepe that untill you make more inke, so it is better then clean water. ~ Black ink was not the only color used. You will see in manuscripts that there are rich reds and beautiful blues. Reds could be made from red lead and other organic sources. The most common red was made from cinnabar, which is a natural yet toxic form of mercury sulfide. Vermilion was also used, but again, was quite toxic. A non toxic route to producing red ink was using pigments found in various plants. The Madder plant’s roots, a plant in Italy, contains an acid that is red in color. Grinding up the root and mixing it with sulfuric acid, red ink, paint, and dye are made. Brazilwood, a tree that grows in South America, was brought back to Europe where it was prized for its dense, reddish wood. The wood contains a a substance that, when oxidizes, becomes a dye called brazilein. The wood of the tree was cut, dried, and ground into a power to make dyes and inks. Blues were made from ground lapis lazuli found in ornate manuscripts. Because lapis was so expensive, scribes had to become inventive to create blues in other ways. They used Azurite which could be mixed Self-portrait of Hugo ‘pictor’ and ‘illuminator’, Oxford, MS Bodley, 717, f. 287v (Jerome on Isaiah) – late 11th-century with gum or oil to create a blue ink. Jumieges (Normandy) Green was created by using verdigris, which was found on the natural patina that appears on copper and brass. Yellows could be made from orchre or saffron. Many of these colors can still be made today, in fact there are many more that can be made.

Baked Pears

Again, pears cooked without coals or water: to instruct the person who will be cooking them, he should get a good new earthenware pot, then get the number of pears he will be wanting to cook and put them into that pot; when they are in it, stop it up with clean little sticks of wood in such a way that when the pot is upside down on the hot coals it does not touch them at all; then turn it upside down on the hot coals and keep it covered over with coals and leave it to cook for an hour or more. Then uncover them and check whether they have cooked enough, and leave them there until they are cooked enough. When they are cooked, put them out into fine silver dishes; then they are borne to the sick person.

The Yeoman page 11 The Bard's Corner Where story, poem and song gather together for the sharing Secrets from the Enchanted Pear Tree by Lady Scholastica Joycors

aking a known tale and putting your own spin on it while keep true to the basic bones is what a bard does. Throughout history there have been tales told about an enchanted pear tree and also tales where T a wife convinces her husband that her infidelity has saved him from a curse. Because stories come from an oral tradition you find that they not only travel time but distance. Here is a list of several stories that run the same storyline but all just a bit different:

The Merchant's Tale (The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer).Story of the Credulous Husband (1001 Nights, translated by John Payne). The Tale of the Simpleton Husband (1001 Nights, translated by Richard Burton). The Twenty-Ninth Vizier's Story (Turkey, The History of the Forty Viziers). Husband, Wife, Lover, and Mango Tree (Tibet/Nepal). The Fourth Lady, Her Husband, and the Brahmin (India/Persia). Vibhîtaka Tree (India) All of the above stories can be found in their shorted form here: https://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type1423.html

After spending time reading aloud The Decameron with friends at the beginning of our home based SCA, I thought I would provide a shortened version of Lydia and Pyrrhus from Day Seven - Tale Nine followed by a modern telling of this tale in song by Heather Dale. I have provided you links you may wish to read the actual story (long version) or listen to Heather sing.

The Story of Lydia and Pyrrhus Day Seven - Tale Nine Giovanni Boccaccio https://www.gutenberg.org/files/23700/23700-h/23700-h.htm

icostratus, a wealthy patrician, married Lydia, a woman of great distinction and unsurpassed beauty. He was well advanced in years, while she was still a paragon of youth and vitality. Consequently, to Nstate the matter delicately, their marriage did not leave the young wife entirely satisfied. Thus, it is quite understandable that Lydia found herself paying ever more attention to one of her husband's servants, Pyrrhus by name, who was elegant, handsome, young, and energetic. He was attracted to her as well, and gladly would have accepted her invitations to love, but the old man gave them no opportunity. What he lacked in vigor he made up with jealousy and perseverance, rarely leaving his beautiful young wife alone. Their unrequited passion aglow, Lydia and Pyrrhus devised a daring scheme through which, even in the master's presence, they might satisfy their longing for one another. Accordingly, one day when the three were walking in the garden, as they often did, Lydia requested a pear from a certain tree. Pyrrhus climbed after the fruit, but once in the tree, he called to his master, "Have you no shame, making love like that in broad daylight?" The master demanded an explanation for the strange remark, and Pyrrhus concluded that the pear tree was enchanted, giving the impression of unreal happenings below. To test the theory, he asked his master to climb the tree, and see if he too would behold impossible things below. His curiosity piqued, Nicostratus mustered enough

The Yeoman page 12 strength to climb onto one of the pear tree's lower branches. Looking down, what did he behold but Pyrrhus and Lydia making fervent love. From his precarious perch, he shouted curses, threats, and insults at them. but they -- engaged with other pursuits -- quite ignored him. Nicostratus climbed down from the tree, only to find Pyrrhus and Lydia seated discretely on a garden bench. Their innocent demeanor convinced him that nothing unseemly had happened. Fearing that only a bedeviled tree could be responsible for the vile images that he had perceived, he sent for an ax and had it cut down immediately. From that time forth Nicostratus relaxed his watchful vigil over his young wife, and thus Pyrrhus and Lydia were able to pluck the fruits of their love at regular intervals, even without the help of their enchanted pear tree.

Up Into The Pear Tree Heather Dale https://youtu.be/mSKjXHicxA4

The young Madonna Lydia went out to take a stroll Upon the arm of Don Ambruglio, her newly wedded lord. Their serving man was Pyrrhus that day as chance befell And though he was the husband's man he longed to be her man as well.

Sweetly said Madonna with a twinkle in her eye, "I see a tree hung low with fruit and oh the highest one is ripe!" The Don looked sagely upward and nodded his assent And so the servant stripped to shirt and hose and up the tree he went.

Up into the pear tree was handsome Pyrrhus sent There he thought of a clever plan and this is how it went And this is how it went

When the noble pair below were seated on the ground From up above young Pyrrhus made a show of looking shyly down "My lord I cannot blame you, but it seems to me unwise To kiss your wife so boldly here and right before a servant's eyes!"

Ambruglio was taken aback, "My boy what's that you say? My wife and I are sitting here and not entwined in Cupid's play." Said Pyrrhus soul of innocence, "My eyes cannot agree, But here come up and take my place my lord, perhaps it is the tree."

So up into the pear tree the foolish husband went While Pyrrhus thought of the prize below and hastened his decent And hastened his decent

There's nothing quite as pleasant as a summer's warm embrace And when the Don looked down he saw the ardent lovers face to face But to his cries the two below said simply "What's the fuss? Just as before a yard or more still separates the two of us."

The Yeoman page 13 The Don cried "It's a miracle, let's cry it in the town!" But with a smile Madonna said "I think that you should cut it down. What good's a tree which lays a doubt on wives of good repute? But Pyrrhus here has earned my gratitude for fetching me my fruit!"

So Pyrrhus felled the pear tree, as was his first intent And once he'd finished his sweaty work his vigor was all but spent His vigor was all but spent

The wondrous tree was lost, Ambruglio ne'er guessed the game But still the tale went far and wide and garnered him a certain fame. Lydia was happy with this pleasant stroke of luck, And always called upon her Pyrrhus when she had some fruit to pluck.

And up into her pear tree was handsome Pyrrhus sent For there he'd thought of a clever plan and that was how it went Oh there he'd thought of a clever plan, and that was how it went
