Warriors defended their king and their lands and travelled vast distances in the hopes of gaining wealth and word-fame. The sagas of old tell of brave heroes who challenged great armies and defeated horrible monsters. Our battlefields shimmer with glistening steel and echo with the clamour of battle.
Shields will be shattered, shafts will be splintered,
Will the hounds-of-helmets the hauberks bite.
Wind we, wind we such web of darts,
Where float the flags of unflinching men!
Let not the liege`s life be taken:
valkyries award the weird of battle.
Njal’s Saga
We fight competitively, based on a 3-tiered hit point system, and with a variety of weapons including spears, swords, axes and projectiles. We have regular trainings, both as a local group and with Regia Anglorum as a whole. We use a range of blunt steel weapons for combat that resemble period weapons as closely as possible, although within strict safety limits.
