Verena's Persona A&S 50 Challenge

This is part of the A&S 50 Challenge. For more information please visit the About the A&S 50 Challenge Page or the Official A&S 50 Challenge Website

After playing in the SCA for 17+ years, I have recently changed names and personas over to 16th century German/Landsknecht/Camp Frau. With the A&S 50 Challenge, I figured what a wonderful time to really delve into the history and the facts about what it takes to being a 16th century camp frau.

My goal is to learn 50 new things about being a 16th century female landsknecht. Along with learning the 50 new things, I will also create a handout and class for each item.

As of right now, I will not be putting the class handouts online, however I will be posting the items I have learned and the progress of the classes. If you have an event where you would like to have one of these classes taught, simply email me. If it is in my power to make it, I will.
