Weapons and Military

One in ten of the adult male population was a member of the Trayned Bandes and all gentleman were trained in the Arte of Defence. Therefore The Group has an aspect which portrays these topics.

Unlike many other groups however we do not let this dominate The Group. It is merely one aspect of life.

Further we do not use stunt weapons, weapons that should be sharp - are sharp. Therefore we do not take part in any form of battle re-enactment.

We feel battle re-enactment rarely gives you the opportunity to correctly interpret the period for the benefit of the public.
