Articles from the Rus' Handbook, produced for the Eoforwic Novgorod event of AS XXIX.
These articles were originally part of the handbook which I edited and assembled to prepare participants for the Eoforwic Novgorod event. They were intended to give participants a good grounding in an historical era only a few had ever studied. I was originally in that category myself--prior to the event, I knew almost nothing on the topic. The event was set in 1036, during the reign of Iaroslav the Wise, and involved a dispute over the succession between two sons (purely fictional, but such disputes did occur). This handbook certainly qualifies as the largest research project I have undertaken in the SCA, and one of the most worthwhile. Most of the articles in the following section have heretofore been available only in the original handbook.
