Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[Alanus]

Back to you, Rodi

The bows were made by Csab Grozer. Oh, yes-- great to shoot, so so smoooth! One of them is made from gray cattle horn, the other from buffalo.

The man you should talk to is John Conyard. He's an RAT member, and also a very active member of the new Equites Taifali. Sometimes he posts on these threads.

My strange connection to the Taifali came from writing the novel. My heroine was a Taifala who married Fritigern. Then, when Googling "Taifali," I found "Equites Taifali" by sheer luck. It was a case of fiction becoming reality. In the novel, I had the martyr Saba as a lector in the Gothic Church. A week ago, I discovered he WAS a lector-cantor. Too strange! hock: This tidbit topped off my theory that Theithfallt's (Thiudebalth) father, recorded in Welsh as Teithrin/Tryhaearn, may have been Fritigern. Add more fuel-- Fritigern was a Balth, and his theoretical son was Thiud-e-balth, the "the Bold Prince" in the Gothic language.

So anyway, contact John or Google up the Equites Taifali (part of a larger British reenactment unit, Comitas I think).
