What we do:  

 

 

Our members attend events the first Saturday of every month.  We learn and teach history by doing history. We do history by re-creating the atmosphere of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Many of us re-create history by becoming a character that could have lived during our time period, but not the famous characters known from history.

Instead, we choose an area from the known world at that time, and create our character based on what we know about the people that would have lived there.  Don't worry if you have no idea what your character would be - you can learn and grow into your persona. Many members have done just that.

 

 Our Crowns (the ruling nobles) hold courts at events, bringing the feeling of being in the Middle Ages to each gathering.  But that is not all we do! Members learn how to fight with real swords in steel armor, or learn about the arts and sciences of the time, or learn to shoot a bow. These activities allow members to earn a knighthood based on their experience and skill in their chosen activities. Members may also earn a knighthood by doing service for the organization.

 

Whatever the path to becoming a knight, members also learns what it is to be a knight. Chivalry isn't just a word bandied about - it has meaning.

Members participate at fighter practices, demonstrations, tournaments, feasts, and wars. Each event has its own opportunity to learn something new, or to teach others something a member has learned. And every member, young or old, male or female, is given the chance to participate. It is truly a family-oriented experience.
