Working on some sword components.
Really enjoying making some of the commissions I've got.
This is a Nagel for a German messer.
Loving the variety of different swords you all ordered. ♥️
Day 8 of #medievalmay
Civilians:
As much as combat is a big part of our society, another important part is our living history, and with that comes all sorts of civilian impressions.
I love seeing all the different colours and choices of attire.
Endless variety to see!
Day 5 of #medievalmay
Castle:
Our reenactment society travels all around the UK, going from show to show.
What really makes our shows stand out in my mind are the venues...Castles!
Having the backdrop of a genuine medieval castle makes it all feel so connected to history.

Several hearths are burning to make sure everyone gets fed, especially to for those fighting all day.
We use authentic ingredients that would he available in our period!

Day 3 of #medievalmay
Encampment:
At shows, we typically sleep in authentic tents. Usually representing our impressions or military rank.
This, for example, is a high-end military setup. With a full-on bed and space for weapons and armour.
Day 2 of medieval May!
Re-enactment:
In our society, we do a whole range of activities.
From living history, crafting, and combat!
We, as the Hereford group, even have a forge display at shows, that we use to make and repair things around the camp!
INTRODUCING MEDIEVAL MAY!
Every day of May, Historia Normannis Hereford intends to celebrate Medieval May across our multiple platforms, each day to see some of the things that we get up to as a twelfth century re-enactment group!
