Welcome to the website of the re-enactment group "Lights of the Dark Ages". We are a small group of life and craft re-enactors, both civilian and military, and we focus on the Dark Ages (476-1066 A.D.). Our group was founded early 2008 by three persons fond of textile craft and medieval re-enactment.
Our aim is to re-enact different kinds of characters and craftsmen from that period (from Merovingians to Vikings, not forgetting the Saxons). Some of us re-enact civilians, some prefer warriors and there are even some of us who do both.
The number of members is deliberately kept limited, in order to maintain a family-like spirit of brotherhood that is dear to its founders.
People who want to join our group can contact us by using the website form. Each candidature will be submitted to the vote of all the members. Selection criteria include the seriousness of the re-enactment approach, the degree of commitment and, of course, craft skills. Beginners need not worry as they are, of course, welcome if they are willing to seriously commit themselves to the study of a craft.
