HAM I.i. Props and Costuming by sabina

Barnado & Francisco
Costume:

  • Chain mail shirts (picture in Chain Mail Shirt.jpg )
  • Each with a brown leather belt and frog (as picture in sword belt-frog.jpg)
  • Hooded black cloak with the hood up (as in ‘cloak’ picture, but black)
  • Black baggy pants (as in ‘cloak’ picture)
  • Black leather almost-to-the-knee boots with a cuff (as in ‘cloak’ picture)
  • Each with gloves (picture in Chain Mail Shirt.jpg)

Props:

  • Each should carry a polearm/axe (as descried in the image polearm)
  • Sheathed sword on their right left side (edited by Sabina–originally I said on their right, however, the sword should be sheathed on the side opposite their dominant hand) (sword as pictured in Brigadine.jpg)
  • A dagger tucked in their belt on their left right side (as pictured in dagger.gif)

Horatio
Costume:

  • Top as per picture titled german scholarTOP.jpg
  • Lower body as pictured in germanscholar lower.jpg
  • Feathered flat cap in flatcap.bmp and feather as in feather cap.jpg

Props:

  • None

Marcellus
Costume:

  • Top as in image titled brigadine (chain mail shirt under a brigadine)
  • Black baggy pants (as in cloak picture)
  • Black leather almost-to-the-knee boots with a cuff (as in cloak picture)
  • Wrist cuffs as pictured in gauntlets.jpg
  • Gloves (picture in Chain Mail Shirt.jpg)
  • Brown leather belt and frog (as picture in sword belt-frog.jpg)
  • Hooded black cloak with the hood up (as in ‘cloak’ picture, but black)

Props:

  • Polearm/partisan (as descried in the image partisan)

Ghost
Costume:

  • Dressed as a warrior king in full armor with his beaver up. The Third Earl of Cumberland owned the armor in the image titled Cumberland.jpb. Also the image Cumberalnd.jpg is from the Met’s collection, but this site http://www.medievalrepro.com/Premier.htm, has more detailed images. I think the SHAPE/structure of this suit of armor is good, but with simply a HIGHLY polished silver finish would suffice. His breast plate however would be etched with the Kronborg Castle’s Coat of Arms.

Props:

  • Carrying a long sword as in the picture elizarmor.jpg.
    • As I’ve mentioned before, I have NO skill or talent for CREATING any drawings or sketches of anything. Moreover, I haven’t any desire to waste our time ATTEMPTING to become skilled with such pursuits! Therefore, I’m limited to images I can find on the internet or in books I have. I am not sure a long sword is appropriate for the ghost king but I’ve spent TOO long looking for an image of a kingly baton!
