Making Medieval Tunics to Represent Meridies

Before our first Gulf Wars event with the Society for Creative Anachronisms (SCA), I made us medieval inspired tunics that represented the Kingdom Meridies. This is the Kingdom we hail from. The colors of Meridies are White and Black, or Argent and Sable as it is referred to historically. The symbols of Merieids include stars, a comet, and the stallion. I learned before our 1st Gulf Wars that many people wear their kingdom's colors when parading into the opening ceremonies with their kingdom, so of course I wanted to make something to wear for this parade. I love a good parade and a good theme. So I very quickly made both of us black tunics. Since my husband was the kingdom bard and represented our kingdom during some of the competitions during this event, I did applique work on the front of his tunic to recreate one of the populace badges of Meridies. With the badge on his chest, the hose, and the bard cloak I made him, I thought he looked like a Meridies Superhero! Meridies is the fifth kingdom created in the SCA. The Kingdom of Meridies was founded January 18, 1978. Today this kingdom encompasses the entire state of Alabama, all of Georgia west of Augusta, eastern Tennessee, southern Kentucky, and the Florida panhandle.
