"In Tudor England it was customary for people of all classes to go out "a-maying" on the first of this month. During these celebrations our ancestors acted out the human version of the union of the god and goddess Beltane by spending the entire night making love in the fields to ensure the fertility of the land. They stayed out to greet the May sunrise and brought back boughs of flowers and garlands to decorate the village the next morning. Children conceived at this time were considered especially blessed and were known as Merry-be-Gots."http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/kirk6479/mycustom

Merry beGots were afforded special status in their villages and were often pranksters and got away with more than their peers. Since it was quite possible that a child have noble blood, elders would click their tounges at their shennanigans and console each others with "you know how those merry be-gots are! "
Our guild embodies this freewheeling spirit by providing lighthearted, roaming entertainment at faire. Our goal is to engage the patrons and bring them into the faire experience by participating with us in gags, games, gigs and song.
We make people smile!.. Look UP!
