This is the handout that I wrote to accompany a class that I taught at an event that my household, The Mountain Confederation (a mercenary household, hence some of the comments you will see in the paper), held in 2011. At the time that I wrote it, I anticipated that the only people in the class would be 2 of my fellow household members - both beginners. It was double! And the other two were not even members of my household. This was the first class that I have ever taught, and I was incredibly nervous, but I think it went well just the same.
Please understand when reading this that it is a VERY brief and general overview, meant to give direction to those who don't really know about the period. Also, I am aware that some of my sources and citations are lacking - I had really put it together quickly expecting only 2 people to read it who wouldn't care too much. I do plan to go back and fix this in the future, I just haven't had time yet, so please bear with me on that one.
Even though this was not initially written for this project, it was written well within the time frame, and so I'm including it here as the first entry in my A&S 50 project. I'd love to know what you think of my very first dip into this type of thing, so please feel free to comment below.
Mahalo!
