Maybe you are of the age, or maybe you are to young to know the tales and the stories of the Legend of Zorro, vigilante hero who saved the day...the Robin Hood of early 1900's Los Angeles. If you were born a certain time of age, you might even have found yourself grabbing up a Zorro costume for Halloween...or you dawned your homemade knight costume and fashioned a sword out of cardboard to seal the deal. Grabbed a trashcan lid from the garage, suddenly that became your shield. The inspiration is always born from somewhere.

Join us today, as we dive into the story of the creator of the legendary fictional vigilante Zorro. Then we take a trip through history to learn about some of the most feared masters of the sword. We concluded with the swords themselves, a truly terrifying spectacle to be killed in battle by an enemies sword, a death, that would be of the most unpleasant way to die we probably guess would be terrible.

So, dawn your favorite childhood medieval costume, or cosplay outfit...don't worry we won't tell anyone...grab a bottle of Mead and a seat in your favorite lounger and take a listen...things get a little weird!
