Normans And Crusaders

Set in 1215, King John has fallen out with the Barons of England and has arrived at Arundel seeking support from William de Albini, Earl of Arundel.

The historical backdrop is the prelude to the signing of the Magna Carta, and the turbulent power struggle between the King and nobility. Set within a historical tented encampment, Raven Tor Living History Group will recreate the crafts, weapons training, and battle tactics of the period. With the Yarnsmith of Norwich Story Teller, falconry, archery and combat demonstrations, the weekend will be filled with the sights, sounds and smells of the late Norman Period.
