Author Topic: 14th and 15th cen personal tents Mike Mercier Member Member # 821 posted 01-02-2006 03:47 PM                   I am a little late, but I am working on some new ideas for the 2006 faire season. I want to have a tent set up for sleeping purposes, but dont know of any authentic designs available. My guild is late 14th early 15th century and I want to make something that is for 2 people max. Did small tents like this exist? Did soldiers use small (excuse the modern army term) pup tents for when they were away rather than sleep uncovered all the time? Are there any plans out there I might be able to use? Thanks!
