Vikings Invade England
In Summer, 1015, a Viking army under the command of King Canute
sails from Denmark to attack England. 200 longships carrying
10,000 warriors round Kent, pass through the English Channel,
sail West past Cornwall, then up the Avon river to Bristol, where
they make landfall and establish a base from which to conquer
all of England. As winter sets in, the Vikings have gained control
of all Wessex...
London Beseiged
In July, 1016, Canute sails up the Thames to lay siege to London,
hoping to overcome the last Saxon resistance to Danish rule over
England. When King Æthelred the Unready dies, it falls to the
young Saxon King Edmund II "Ironside" to face the invaders. He
marches forth from London before the siege can be closed, and the
armies clash on the plains...
Come take part in this epic struggle for control of England. Will history
repeat itself with Canute taking the throne of England, or can the Saxon army
repel the invaders? Fighters, fencers, and archers will be divided up into
a team of Viking invaders and a team of Saxon defenders. Combat archers and
siege engines welcome!!
