Oh no... I am but a humble Squire. I am in training with a Knight.

He won a major tournament against 40 other fighters just days after a chemo treatment.... Oh, and he as a Master with Calligraphy and Illumination. (wields a pen as well as a sword)
I am however(in the medieval re-enactment organization I am a member of) a "Laurel" or Master Craftsman. So Master Stephan is my name there... Thanks for the compliment on my Gauntlets. Those are my specialty. They are simplified reproductions of a recovered original that dates to 1361 from the battle of Visby. I have a website for my armor business but it has no connection to this stuff so...
