Bibliography
Nicole Allen graduated with a BS in fashion design - a formal
manifestation of what is her lifelong obsession with clothing. She
has been involved with various medieval reenactment and communities
for over fifteen years. She founded and runs Revival Clothing, a
company that provides authentic period fashion primarily to
reenactors, and Historica Clothiers, a modern fashion line inspired
by historic fashion of all periods.
Gregory Mele was a medieval reenactor for 15 years, until turning
his attention in 1999 to focus on the research and reconstruction
of Historical European Martial Arts, for which he is
internationally known. From 2003 to 2009 he wrote a periodic column
for Revival Clothing entitled "From the Pen of History," which gave
historical context to the company's clothing lines. In 2014 he
returned to the hobby of living history by joining La Compagnia
della Rosa nel Sole, a small society which focuses on the
experience of an Italo-English mercenary company of the late 14th
century.
