So a few months back I went to the Herstmonceux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herstmonceux) medieval fair thingy and they had a re-enactment of a (small) battle they had there. I took some videos and thought they might be interesting to some of the geeks out there.
Disclaimer:
I havn't watched these videos for about a month so there may be some profanity (or lack of)
Anyways I hope they are interesting/cool, and sorry for the poor image quality.
In this they had people riding horses trying to hit targets, in the last bit when the rider picks up a spear she tries to poke it through these tiny rings that are dangling from strings.
This was after the re-enactment, all the guys in armour where walking past and I thought it sounded cool so I took a video. I didn't video the re-enactment... they had archers and a humongous cannon firing all the while which was good.
This guy was a Polish re-enacter who was describing how knights in full plate armour would fight with two hands instead of one (with a buckler for defence). Probably the most interesting of the three videos...
