This is the same kind of shit that drove me out of the SCA for a long while, and the straw on the camel's back for me with the Laurels in Ealdormere over the Cloak (that resulted in me mothballing the project for the better part of 15 years). There is room in what we do for artistic interpretation, for things not strictly *OF* the periods we cover, but inspired by and fitting the flavour of those eras. There has to be. Otherwise, many of us have no room to *BE* artists, but only talented copyists, and that's a limitation that never sat well with me. I loved Her Majesty's dress. I'm totally okay with re-enactments that include "works inspired by the Norse era", or any period.
