A thousand years ago, people like you and me lived, loved and died here in the Islands of Britain. Their lives are far away in time, separated from us by thirty generations. Yet they were very like us, just as cheerful, just as sad, just as generous, just as mean- spirited, just as skilled and just as fumble-fingered as we are today.

It is a mistake to think that because they had no television or computers that they were one whit less intelligent than we who live where they lived. Their names have come down to us in the tell of the years and from the time of Alfred the Great to the reign of Richard the Lionheart, we do our best to present a living image of the Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Welsh and Norman people in our period of interest. We are anglers, aristocrats and archers; riders, sailors, and tanners; warriors, weavers and woodcarvers. You can live like a Lord or Peasant, fight in the shield wall with your shoulder companion - you can do all of these things and so much more beside.

Now in our twenty-first year of historical re-creation, Regia Anglorum is probably the best re-enactment society in the world in our period.

The event organiser can breath a sigh of relief having found just the people they need to celebrate a charter or bring new life to a long running festival. We present a rounded family-orientated product complete with music and narrative, action and living history.

Here the film maker will find an experienced, disciplined professional one stop shop that has everything they need including ships and a permanent period location.

We feel that we are about history FIRST and maintain a wide range of articles on just about every subject there is. Academics will find physical, practical reconstructions of archaeological finds. Teachers the very thing they need to give depth to their lesson plan. Historians will find the path they are treading has been trodden before. Do we sound interesting? Come in and look around.
