 Feasts

he
life of any hardworking medievalist would not be complete without a good
feast. We hold regular feasts that include an authentic meal, lively entertainment,
and perhaps the telling of a rousing saga.
   
bove,
you can see two examples of the evenings entertainment. One is the annual
wrestling match, a pastime that Vikings regularly enjoyed. At a feast,
there would be much free flowing ale, mead and cider, which also meant
that tempers would quickly flare up. To avoid bloodshed at what was supposed
to be a happy event, the opponents would wrestle instead. The other photo
is of one of our members who has mastered the art of fire breathing.
