About the Chirurgeonate
The Chirurgeonate is the volunteer first-aid organization of the
Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc., a non-profit educational
organization devoted to the study of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It
is part of the "living history" movement, where members try to reproduce
various aspects of the culture and technology of their period, as well as
pursuing more traditional historical research. The SCA sponsors events
such as medieval tournaments and feasts, where members dress in Medieval
and Renaissance styles, and participate in activities based on the civil
and martial arts of the Middle Ages. |
