I really liked this book. I don’t mind if it takes a while to get going if I can see kinda where it is heading. I agree that there is a very strong 19th Century feel to it with the pacing. I enjoyed the footnotes and think that many of them could be written into their own stories.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
