I certainly hear what you are saying here Todd, but I'd hope that the average faire attendee would have already been prepared by their history teachers, or heavens forbid, their parents, to have the common sense to be able to tell fantasy from historical reality. I go to ren-faire to dress up and play, I can't be responsible if somebody goes to the Texas Ren-fest and looks at Cassidy and I here;
and comes away thinking "Oh that must be how folks dressed for Christmas in Tudor England" I would hope that maybe faires would stimulate some interest in history, but it's likely too late for some of them!
