> I can offer a?tried and true way to?safely clean dark spots out of old linens (looks like rust, etc.).? It may work with mud.? An antique dealer?helped me with our family Christening gown from 1860.??The?method is to use Efferdent?and soak the garment overnight or longer (until active ingredients are fully processed).? Even blue?denture cleaner has?proven safe because it turns clear after the?complete process.??
> 
> First rinse to remove?any residue, running the water OPPOSITE the direction it entered the fibers.? Then completely wet and submerge fabric in water.??I have added the tablets first and last with no particular effect either way.? I have also added a?whole box of the tablets to?two gallons of water?and it has not been too much.? 
> 
> REMEMBER TO PLACE SOMETHING GLASS TO HOLD GARMENT UNDERWATER to keep water staining from occuring.? After?24 hours, rinse thoroughly.? Repeat as necessary.
> 
> No promises, but worth a try if you do not find another method.

> ideological systems. Feature boxes focus on 
> topics ranging from battles such as Agincourt to 
> weaponry and armor, while eyewitness accounts of

> dramatically to life. Packed with more than 400

I?d like to thank Lord Gustav der Dunkele Rotvogel for the tasty traveler?s fare he spread before us on Friday evening, and the wondrous fresh bread that he and his good wife, Lady Brienna Llewellyn Lindsay, baked on site . Truly, we dined well all weekend, and I was gratified by the bounty offered by Bright Hills.

I am also grateful to Ulliam mac Fearghus, ably assisted by his father, Lord Fearghus mac Domhnaill (who also doubled as Robin Hood), for the archery shoot, and to Lord Stephen Bridewell, the rapier marshal, for the testing the mettle of the rapier combatants. I would wish to especially thank Sir Aelfred of Cres, who as marshal of the heavy combat, graciously met my request for something matching the theme of the event and designed a most entertaining tavern brawl between the guards of  King Richard?s ransom and bandits.
> 
> .I would also like to thank Lord Alexander Fowler and Mistress Chagan Khulan for being the ministers of the list and Mistress Barbara Guimaria di Roberto for handling troll with calm and pleasant efficiency,

> 	I would like to thank Lord Luke of Bright Hills and Lord Owen Sherard Trehern for bringing the foot-powered lathe and woodworking skills to share with us.
> 
> 	I would like to thank Lady Nem inghean Dochartaigh and Lord Randver Askmor for bringing the firewood, posting and retrieving the roadside signs, and for posting my silly wanted posters.
> 
> 	I?d like to thank milady Evelyn, who created the containers and who organized the children (and bigger folk) who collected for King Richard?s ransom (which will be donated to the travel fund), which contributed to the atmosphere of the event. Such cheerful organization!
> 
> 	I owe a big thanks to those graciously agreed to play characters in the murder mystery:
> Lord Graham MacRobert ? the Sheriff of Nottingham
> Lord Randver ? Royal Forester of Sherwood,
> Lord Alexander ? Guy Blackcross, templar
> Lord Fearghus ? Robin Hood
> Lady Katarzyna ? Lady Juliana, Queen Eleanor?s lady in waiting

> Lady Reyne Telarius ? Maid Marian
> Lord Stephen de Spencer ? Little John
> William Scholari ? Roger Bookman, scholar at Fountain Abbey
> Lady Wynne ? Sister Gwenhyfar (Br. Cadfael?s colleague)
> 
> And while I owe a thanks to the rest of PAGE players for being willing to perform at the event, I think I speak for all the players in thanking you, our audience, for making it so much fun!
> 	
> 	I owe a special hug of thanks to Lady Reyne and Lady Ingeborg for staying with me until the end, moping and sweeping the last floors, and insisting on bringing the last items out to my car while I packed it.
> 
> 	Finally, I wish to thank the officers and residents of Bright Hills for allowing me to do this event. I had a wonderful time ? I hope the rest of you enjoyed it too.
