The Courtesan Guild of Ealdormere is affiliated with **The Knowne World Courtesans**. The Knowne World Courtesans are a free confederation of people dedicated to promoting courtesan/sex worker personas in the SCA, along with the study of historical gender and sexuality topics. Members who portray sex workers from before 1600 attempt to recreate their clothing, arts, and charms. They may perform, create art, host parties and gatherings, teach classes on historical sexuality topics, and assist with service during events.
