Medieval Times? Probably cheesy for others but for me personally, I fucking love it. Been going since i was a wee lad, fucking love the chicken and jousting. 


But for historical or authenticity, i have no idea. I honestly am only stepping into the Viking age and studying as a new kid on the block. I'm gonna leave that to Illisa or George however I don't know if the Medieval Times Amusement are in Europe or Australia.

Umm, we dont have it here, but i just looked it up and my answer is no its not authentic :P

My answer's exactly the same. Looks like a giggle though.

This pic's my favourite that I found. That knitted maille and that axe.

So just to give you an idea, this is my group at a camp last year

btw, change the 'medieval' in the title to 'Dark Age', Dark Age and medieval are different, although some people do call the Dark Ages 'Early Medieval'

Actually I'll fix it in a bit.

I remembered the music.

As an aside, some people apply 'Dark Ages' to a lot of the medieval period.
They're wrong though.

What exactly do you understand with Dark Ages?
As far as i am aware, it is the period we know nothing about, except the layout of a temple and not even a handful of figurines...

Perhaps that's just the art-name for it, I guess you guys are meaning early middle ages?
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Yes, you are correct, the Dark Ages we don't know much about, especially for the Vikings as most of them couldn't read or write, what we do know about the Vikings has come from extent examples and monks which recorded what the Vikings did in Anglo-Saxon England. When William the Conquerer came into power they started recording a lot more accurate stuff. But for the Dark Ages, we don't know that much about.

I heard most of thing we know about the vikings are purely Christian propaganda.

Archaeology has also developed our understanding of the Dark ages, chronicles are usually the most prominent sources of the dark ages although the writers may not have been alive during the events they wrote about. Its how we've learnt how the Vikings went "viking" all over the place. Vikings are fascinating, apparently the steel in the swords was incredibly advanced at the time.

oh yeah, definitely, theres evidence of them in North America at their time, they weren't just barbaric people raiding and pillaging, theres so much more to the vikings than most people think. extent examples is pretty much archaeological dig finds :P
