 How Dining in the Middle Ages Differs From Now
What you've heard about the Middle Ages might be all wrong!
In period, most people couldn't cook, nor did they need to know how. They either ate with their family, or if they were employed, they ate with the other servants in the great hall. Household specialists worked very hard to provide tasty meals that were healthy and nutritious. Professional cooks who worked in castles or large manors had to be able to read and write so they could keep track of the large quantities of food they bought. That gave rise to a trade in cookbooks all of which had large sections on what foods could be served to the sick. So diet and health were inextricably linked even then. Except on feast days, the wealthy dined with family and close friends in their private dining rooms. They might consult with their cooks from time to time, but for the most part, the cooks made all the decisions for the entire household and everyone ate what was served. ...Read more

Patterns for Medieval and Renaissance Costumes
We carry a full line of Medieval Miscellenea costume patterns. If you are not familiar with this brand, each pattern comes with 5 to 10 variations on the theme and all sizes from 6 to 20. There are also extensive notes showing pictures of the historical garments that each pattern was based on with all documentation necessary to warm the cockles of a costume nazi's heart. The price is higher than a Simplicity pattern because you get so much more. When I use my Medieval Miscellenea patterns I never cut them up. I trace the size and variation I want to use on to tracing paper (large rolls are available from Michael's), make any alterations I might desire, and then I cut that up to make my pattern.

Renstore celebrates its 28th birthday in October, 2019!
Renstore.com has been active in the Renaissance industry for more than 25 years. The company was started by Jake and Gael Stirler as Chivalry Sports Videos in October of 1991. They started with just one video about the SCA called "Once Upon a Weekend" on VHS. They then published a small mail order catalog. This in turn led to selling videos for Belly Dance instruction and audio tapes of filk music and a few other things. In a short time they added a few articles of clothing, belly dance jewelry, and books. Four years later they created the first online catalog for Medieval and Renaissance Clothing on AOL. When they moved from AOL to the current domain, the name of the online company was changed from Chivalry Sports to Renstore.com because it was easier to spell. Jake and Gael continued to upgrade and grow the company until they they decided to retire in 2016.
The company was purchased by an employee, Russell MacDonald (Ciaran Galloglass) at the beginning of 2017. Russell has been a member of the SCA for 10 years and squired to Jake for most of that time. Renstore.com is now based out of the Phoenix metro area.
