forsooth (adv.) Also for soth (phrase), forsuth, -soith (N).

  

1. For a truth or fact, as a fact, truthfully; for ~ to seie, to tell the truth; wite (leve) thou ~, know (believe) thou for a fact.

   

2. As an intensive or mild asseveration: truly, indeed, of course, surely;-- (a) in connected discourse; (b) in answer to a question.

 

 

Forsooth is a collection of resources, links and ramblings on medieval language with a view to increasing the historic feel of the SCA.

 

There is a wealth of material available online; translations of medieval texts, charters, laws, records, rolls, poems, mystery plays and so forth which I use as reference material when drafting documents and composing lyrics and poetry.

 

I hope this will be of use to you,

 

Enjoy
