Got another batch of images, time to share.

First we have the entrance to our camp, we brought 11 tents ranging from 2 person knights tents to a field hospital, field cathedral as well as a shelter tent and a covered dining area.


Prepping food for the camp, feeding 55 reenactors three meals a day cost the organizers just close to $2500 the woman in the right foreground is my wife Sara


Rear section of the last procession, in shackles are the former bishop, accused of accepting bribes, now on the way to gather evidence, this little twist managed to really throw the relic pedlars of balance in the usual show.


The avantgarde of the procession, Templars in front.


Saying grace at the table, grace was comprised of one word: Bacon!


Archers at the grand battle after the command "knock" comes "Draw"


"Draw" is followed by "loose" this is the result in a calibration shot before the grand battle


The result on the calibration target


Teutonic knight battling a prussian mercenary in the grand battle


Yours truly at a quiet moment about thirty minutes into the first shift at the market gates, the audience waiting to get in was kind enough to give way for an image. Note that while being in field kit, I wear no maille in teh entrance due to my suit not being ready in time for the fair, or I would have worn a maille hauberk as well as a ventailed coif.


Truly a fall from grace, the former bishop before being delt a thrashing by a knight of St John


The new bishop being suited up for his first procession. Also learning about where to get bribes such as mead sellars as well as relic swindlers. My wife is standing in white and grey to his left.


My two sons, Christian aged 5 in black in front and Harald age 3 in the background wearing his rangers tunic and feathered hat. Christian will start to learn the use of sword for real when he reaches 7. both kids loved this their first market, and they bravely soldiered on through rain, and almost freezing nights.

Advance guard of the procession, a Templar sargeant is carrying a replica of a bible found in France dating back to the 12th century.


Me sitting in the armory, telling the audience about rivetted maille and demonstrating the weave and construction, a member from the group has asked me to make a ventail for his coif so that is what I am working on here.


Finally, the staff present from the group korsfarerne, the second to last day, the weather was grand and I am placed in the middle next to a bishop and behind a monk, carrying my helm in front of me.


Regards Staffan

Very authentic costumery & armour.
Reenactments over here tend to be a bit shouty and running about with not much physical belabouring of opponents due to Health & Safety Regulations. Looks as though they are really going at it in your shots!
As a longbowman myself, I was interested in the archery pics. I take it there are not bodkins used in the calibration salvo?

The group I and my family are in are very strict that things should be as close to reality as it is, that goes even to maille that are usually of the rivetted type (Mine is very soon to arrive from the armourer that does it, then I will have to do a few things on it, such as ventail on the coif, mittens on the sleeves a a few minor things. Regarding the archery all arrows are with a leather tip, so no penetrations can occur, but even with good attire (gambeson and maille shirt/hauberk,) they will leave a mark.
No injuries in the grand battle, as opposed to battle of nations where quite a few injuries were sustained.
