    Default Agincourt Anniversary Reenactment

    Until today, I wasn't aware that not only Waterloo has an anniversary this year, but Agincourt too.

    And look what they did:

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    My pleasure. Apparently, protection is compulsory as they seem to use blunt wooden weapons in full contact.

    Anyone know if this is usual for pre-musket era battle reenactments?
