(2015-09-11 - 2015-09-13 - Site opens at 4 PM & Closes at 11)
Lochmere
Come join the Baronies of Lochmere and Storvik in our recreation of the battle of Hastings!
The time is September 1066 when William the Conqueror and his Norman armies invade England held by Harold II and the Saxons. Come and enjoy the spectacle as each side clash at this historic battle setting the course of events in Europe for centuries. We will have a Warlord Tournament run by our Marshal In Charge Sir Aelfred of Cres. Melee battles will fill the afternoon for heavy fighters, rapier fighters, and combat archery! Arts and Sciences displays, dancing, and a brewing competition. Target archery and thrown weapons too! So much to enjoy!
