Regia also specialises in combat re-enactment, the same stringent rules regarding
authenticity being supplemented by on-going weapons training and inspections.
We can organise a battle that closely follows what may be known of a historical
encounter, or enact - rather than re-enact - a military confrontation that re-creates
the general feel of a combat from the Viking Centuries. We would expect to liase
with a client closely in this respect, but are perfectly capable of doing all
necessary research in-house to the highest standards of historical accuracy
if required.
One
of our standard presentations is an archery contest. From our own resources,
we can supply fully-equipped male and female archers, a range of interesting
targets and backstop netting.
We have performed evening features of this kind in York for eighteen years for the Jorvik Viking Centre. Additionally, we have executed them at a number of land-based sites, off the coasts of Wales and Scotland and in Eire. Our preferred method of ignition is by means of fire arrows and this has never failed to ignite the pyre at any of our twenty-plus shipburnings. This romantic and movingly narrated performance is often followed by a firework display and such a spectacle provides a fitting and memorable end to an event.
Of course, every noble could ride and we are able to provide a number of riders
and even horses for your production. Follow me here,
to let you show more about this; or return to the Booking an event
menu.
