Whats “re-enactment”?
By re-enactment, we mean that we try to recreate the circumstances, crafts, skills, clothing, etc.,of people living during the Middle Ages. This is a large period in history ranging over 1000 years and covering a lot of geographic ground. Usually, each individual will pick out a particular period, country, or area of interest to research, and then will attempt to duplicate the results of the research for the group. This can be in the form of researching clothing styles appropriate to a particular area of the world for a particular time period. It could also be simply learning how to start a fire without any modern utensils. The areas of re-enactment are chosen by each member, and the level of authenticity is also chosen by the individual.
