We are a small group
from Tyrol with the hobby of re-enacting anglo-scandinavians from York
(Jorvik) from around 940 AD. Why we have choosen this particular place?
Because there are just a few anglo-scandinavian re-enactmentgroups in
Central-Europe and because the mass of archeological finds from York
draws a rather clear picture of these times.
Our basic guidelines for our kit and display are, as said before, archeological
finds as well as historic pictures and written sources. It is our goal,
to show how the life might have looked like in the 10th century in anglo-scandinavian
England; craftsmanship as well as swordsmanship. The research on these
historic and archeologic sources leeds to an ongoing improvement of
the quality of our equipment and display.
As well as the everyday-life we long to re-create the swordsmanship
of those times and for that, the socalled "free-style fighting"
is another aspect of our display. There are several "styles"
of free-style fighting, like the "Codex Belli", "Huscarl"
or the "Re-enactment Style", which give exact rules about
minimum protection, weapons-safety and target-areas.
Further information about
our display can soon be found in the "Clan-section" in the
gallery!
