As a means of recording the passage of time, the 12th century is the period from 1101 to 1200 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian/Common Era. In the history of European culture, this period is considered part of the High Middle Ages and is sometimes called the Age of the Cistercians. In Song Dynasty China an invasion by Jurchens causes a political schism of north and south. The Khmer Empire of Cambodia flourished during this century, while the Fatimids of Egypt were overtaken by the Ayyubid dynasty. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "12th century" Does anybody know where I can find some literature on 12th century german costumes for the SCA? Q. I can't seem to find anything anywhere regarding the dress of males in 12th century Germany. I am trying to develop my persona and am having a hard time finding info so that i can get some garb. Any help would be appreciated. Asked by William G - Mon Oct 6 12:52:24 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. My own area of expertise is in the Anglo-Norman 12th century, which has various detail differences from French and German culture at that time. I have come across the manuscript known as "Hortus Deliciarum", which was produced in Alsace at this time and includes a wealth of costume detail. There is also a German late-12th century re-enactment group (I.G.Wolf, e.V.) who have researched the topic in some depth. See hortus deliciarum at and at (The "Wheel of Fate" in this second page gives good information on mid/upper class male costume) and I G Wolf at: In general terms, men wore a loose linen shirt with a round neck and long sleeves, reaching to about mid-thigh. This would be of bleached (white) linen for middle and upper… [cont.] Answered by Brother Ranulf - Mon Oct 6 13:04:43 2008 What is your choice, Spear or Sword, in 12th Century? Q.

Asked by kavekarst - Mon Feb 16 01:39:08 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am a short woman trained in martial arts and fencing and boxing and archery and horsemanship and hunting. Due to my stature and the likelihood of encountering various types of marauding from even the best guys on the best day in the 12th century, I would have to say the long spear. this compensates for short stature, very few during the 12th century could afford to buy or keep a sword, and long spear can have a multitude of uses as a tool as well. Answered by cardimom - Mon Feb 16 18:13:14 2009 why did they cut off the heads of those who committed suicide back in the 12th century?
Q. im watching kingdom of heaven and for those who havent seen the movie it starts with some men burrying a woman..and the priest says cut of her head,she is a suicidal isnt she? why did they cut off their heads? was it in case someone find the body the people would know they were suicidals or some other reason? Asked by *Anda* - Mon Aug 3 12:28:16 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Suicides (and strangers in a community) were not allowed to to be buried in consecrated ground and it was believed that this would result in the spirit of the deceased wandering through local towns and villages causing all sorts of trouble and bringing evil in it's wake. To prevent this, the corpse would be buried at a crossroads in the belief that it's spirit would be confused by the choice of roads to take. On occasion a stake would be driven through the heart of the corpse to prevent evil taking hold and the head removed and buried separately so the spirit would have to search for the head before it could return to terrorise the living.
