Saxon for a Day

Phoebe Smith goes behind the scenes of a Battle of Hastings reenactment in the town called Battle in East Sussex UK. There she sees what attracts people to be part of the Living History Camp, before donning chain mail, grabbing her spear and heading to the battlefield.
As seen in English Heritage Members' Magazine - October 2018.

Hello first off great video! Second im a re enacter and i was at Battle. I play a norman and being in re enactment is such an experience no matter what you are doing you are teaching others as well as yourself. Would love to see you on the norman side next time lol see how the normans lived and what they had. See the difference between saxons and normans. :) ;)
