The Mannschaft was originally created by Mistress Ellen the Fair after a
dance practice in the Barony of the Northwoods in about AS 9. It was first
danced about 3 AM in the lobby of Butterfield Hall, Michigan State U. The
music came from ``The six wifes of Henry VIII'' soundtrack by David Munroe
and the Early Music Consort of London. The music is a compendium of 3 pieces,
all period, orchestrated by David Munroe. The dance was created using pieces
of various dances in an attempt to create a new, SCA dance. It was entered
in an A&S competition as a modern recreation of a period style dance.
Incidentally, the dance itself has since been seen being danced in both a
Hollywood movie and a BBC TV show.
