I'll be going to a medieval feast this weekend and I'm trying to throw together a persona. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open. Here's what I know:
The year is 1099. England has just taken Jerusalem. Our host is a Marquis. The reasons for the feast are to celebrate having taken Jerusalem, and the safe return of his son who had fought in the crusade.
I need to be a Noble, but from where is undecided. I'd love to be Irish, but it seems that if I were Irish in England in 1099 I'd likely have to be a slave. I have a green dress that will be period appropriate, but if anyone has ideas as to other accessories I'd be happy to hear them.
I hope to have some fun pictures to share. :-)


If your host be a Marquis, then why not be a Lady of the French Court? The hairstyle and accesories could make it so. If you recall the French woman from Braveheart, even the timeframe be off a bit, that look would pass quite nicely I think. Hope you have a great time.
