Elizabethan Mafia

Welcome to Elizabethan Mafia. My name is Alison and I am an avid costumer and a rabid historical martial arts and fencing enthusiast. My primary focus is Elizabethan England but I branch out into most of the Early Modern English period.

I originally created Elizabethan Mafia as a portfolio of my work as a historical costumer and place to desiminate my research on fashion and historical martial arts, especially those of the Early Modern English era.  Slowly, it has developed into a resource on fashion, culture, and martial arts.

It is my goal as a researcher to provide students of the Early Modern Era with an excellent resource of well researched articles on all aspects of fashion, martial arts, and Early Modern life.
