Greetings Good Gentles,
Thank you to everyone who came along to the second year of St Florian University! We had a smaller event than last year, but it was just as enjoyable as previous semesters. I hope you'll join us for Semester 2!
A special thank you to our teachers and facilitators, who choose to share their passion, knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm with us!
Stay tuned for Semester 2 enrolments!

Based on an extant cap that allegedly belonged to St Birgitte of Sweden, this iconic cap is perfect to wear on its own or as a base for other hats and veils. Lady Batista will walk you through the construction of a simplified version of the traditional cap.
Our famous scientists and scientific advancements today, stand on the shoulders of giants. Medieval and ancient giants. Come and learn about the great scientific minds and discoveries before the 1600s (and a little bit into the early 1600s). Who were they, what did they discover about how the world works, and why was that important? And what did the average medieval person know about what we today call science? There may be stories you'll recognise, stories you forgot since school, and hopefully some stories you've never heard of!
Master Henry presents: A Discussion of Tactics and their application to the battlefield, with an historical perspective, especially as they relate to SCA combat.
