FOUNDERS
The Alliance first came into being from the ideas of several people who had been in re-enactment for many years. The Founder Member groups were Crimdon Sword & Shield, Harlech Medieval Society and The Swords of Albion.
The Alliance is a non-political, non-religious organization with the principal aim to be able to promote life in the Early Middle Ages, in particular the period between 1130 and 1400 AD; To be able to share knowledge and experience with all groups within the Alliance and to help each other in whatever way possible; For all groups to be able to gather together and have fun, and to be able to entertain the public in a professional manner.
Current Projects
Health & Safety
This will always be an on-going project. Safety is of paramount importance to both our fellow members and to the public who attend our shows. Whilst each member society remains self-determining, with its own structure, rules and customs, there are strict Health and Safety Guidelines which all Societies are expected to adhere to.
Battle Plan
To create a battle plan which will facilitate member groups training together with the ultimate goal of fielding an early mediaeval army and to be able to work together within safe bounds.
