[Darkwood-SCA] Need ideas for taxes?

[Laurie Hupman]

As I'm sure most of you know by now, Darkwood's tax presentation is due during
the reign of Radnor and Ysabeau.  But what do you give to the King and Queen
who have everything?

Well, he likes:  Armor, weapons, boxes, leather goods, gloves, ducal and/or
knighly regalia.

And she likes:  Early period style pottery, things herbal, products of roses and
rose water.  Veils, gloves, boxes, and personal items made by the hands of the
artisans of the realm.

They don't like:  mead, caraway seeds, eggplant, liver or squash.
