Re-enactment classes
Re-enactment
classes are essential for the development of the Magnus Vikings.
We are a relatively newly formed group and need to build our Viking
skills in order to achieve our aim of promoting and education on
the Viking way of life. New members are given the opportunity to
develop sword skills, living history and rowing skills.
|
"Our
training has enables us to develop sword fighting and battle
re-enactment skills in a controlled and safe environment"
|
|
|
|
"We
can now join safely with other re-enactors to deliver mighty
battle scenes. Which thrill the crowds and are fun for the
re-enactors themselves"
|
Viking
life was not all about raiding and fighting battles. There were
many crafts and skills needed for day today life. There were architects,
engineers, craftsmen, shoemakers, blacksmiths, ship builders, potters,
weavers, farmers and a vast array of other trades and skills.
|
"It
has been said that the Vikings were socially enlightened because
their women were free to divorce and often held great power
in the homelands"
|
|
|
|
"Tablet
weaving was used to decorate clothing. The more elaborate
the design the higher the status of the individual wearing
it"
|
Our
re-enactment training, made possible by Awards For All, has not
just given us new skills but brought a deeper understanding and
appreciation of Viking life.
