. . . Many (certainly not all) somehow believing that assuming a bad cockney accent; whacking each other with wooden weapons while feigning the inability to use struck limbs; and listening to modern Irish, Scottish, or English folk songs strummed by steel-strung acoustic instruments somehow relates to late-medieval/early-renaissance life. If that's your thing, go for it. Myself, I kinda prefer music.

The latter is a venerable institution that funds arts here, and the former is group of uncultured boors in silly costumes who managed to completely destroy the NY Medieval Festival at Cloisters.
