Alan Culross joined the Society in

dancer. After moving to the Barony of
the Cleftlands he concentrated on
assisting with Pennsic (being deputy
autocrat at Pennsic XIV and member of
the Pennsic Committee for some years).
He became Earl Marshall of the Middle
Kingdom in 1988 and served as deputy
marshall-in-charge at Pennsics XVII and
XIX and was marshall-in-charge at
Pennsic XVIII.
Alan is now an apprentice of Master
Guichart, OL, who is instructing him
in the making of quality armor.
The armor Sir Alan is wearing was made
by Messire Roberto de Milano, OL. It
is a three-quarter black-and-white
armor for a pistoleer from about 1575.
The decoration is based on armors made
for the Imperial armies; many similar
harnesses may be seen in the armory
at Graz.
