Medieval Reenactment

What is Medieval Re-enactment?
Medieval re-enactment also known as medieval living history is where people try to re-create life as it was in medieval times.

When were the medieval times?
The term medieval refers to a particular part of European history, also known as the Middle Ages. This time period was from the 10th century AD to the 15th century AD.

What is the difference between the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages?
The Dark Ages occurred after the Fall of Rome and the Middle Ages occurred after the Dark Ages.

The Dark Ages - This was the time period from the 5th century AD to the 9th century AD.

Early Medieval - This was the time period from the 10th century AD to the 11th century AD.

High Medieval - This was the time period from the 12th century AD to the 13th century AD.

Late Medieval - This was the time period from the 14th century AD to the 15th century AD.

The Renaissance - This was the time period from the 16th century AD to the 17th century AD.

What is chainmail?
Chainmail also known as chainmaille or maille was a form of armor made from small metal rings all joined together in a similar way to how the links of a chain are all linked together. Good for protection against a sword, not so good for protecting you against a mace or axe.

Weren't swords heavy like you see in the movies?
Okay, now we are getting silly. No, they weren't. The average sword weighed about 2 and a half to 3 pounds. And I certainly wouldn't believe anything that I see in the movies. Movies are made to make money they are not designed to show you an accurate portrayal of history.

What is Jousting?
This is a competetion where knights in armor charge at each other on horse back with a long "spear" known as a lance. Great to watch! Even better if you're one of them.

TheMedievalBookstore is now up and running. Actually it has been now for some weeks.

It has taken us a while to get it to this stage.

Although it is not completely finished, as there are still some changes and updates that we wish to make, it is now more than functional.

We still wish to polish some of our pages and it will always be a work in progress as are all good things. A stagnant site is a bad site, a site left uncared for and one that lacks attention.

Google is an example of a site that constantly changes as it is always being updated.

Change is a good thing.

Change results in progress.

And progress is a result of change.

So it is with theMedievalBookstore.

We have many ideas which we wish to implement. We intend to grow this website.

It is our aim to help medieval re-enactors to further their hobby for the sake of growing medieval reenactment, a hobby which we love.

TheMedievalBookstore was designed primarily to help people not just medieval reenactors but the community at large to buy good quality medieval books.

You don't have to be into medieval reenactment to love medieval history or medieval books but it helps. Regardless theMedievalBookstore is here to help you.

A good medieval bookshop or medieval bookstore is hard to come by.

Tell us what you think.

A bookshop or bookstore are the same thing.

Another name for a bookstore is a Library.

Perhaps the most famous library was the one that existed in Greece called the Great Library.

Unfortunately this was lost in a fire and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Vandals.

Just imagine what was contained in that library. The information. The history. Tragic.

This is why it is so important to record what we know.

medieval re-enactment

Medieval re-enactment or medieval reenactment depending upon your spelling preference is a fun activity

involving a bunch of like minded individuals who get together to re-create a slice of time from our medieval past.

Medieval reenactment is not something that you can do effectively by yourself. It is a group activity. The more people the better.

Participants choose to dress up as a character from the middle ages.

The middle ages were also known as the medieval times.

Medieval reenactment is also known as medieval living history and refers to a period of European history which occurred between

the time frame of 1000AD to 1500AD.

Those who are involved with Medieval reenactment usually belong to a group who focus solely on one period of history of about

20 or so years, although some groups cover are not so time specific and can cover a time period of 200 hundreds years or so to

reflect the varying interests of their different members.

Different groups have different rules. Some fight and some don't. Some act and give performances for the public. While some

will put on craft displays showing various medieval crafts such as leather working, blacksmithing or armor making.

Some groups focus on jousting where knights charge at each other on horseback with lances with the occasional rider being

knocked off his horse (unhorsed).
