Wow, what a great welcome! Thank you my friends.
Our group is called
Espada Lusitana ( Lusitanean Sword, Epée Lusitanae ). We are mainly a infantry group re-enacting romans, gladiators, medieval period (every century) and Napoleonic Wars.
Obviously not everyone takes part on all re-enactments. Some prefer Medieval, other prefer Napoleonic, etc.
I guess our group is around 20 or so. Our Master is João Maia, he teaches all medieval weapons fighting, spear, sword, dagger, etc.
We train in Forte do Bom Sucesso, a coastal fort here in Lisbon next to Torre de Belém. ( Browse for it, you will not regret ).
I like to re-enact XII Century, time in which Portugal was ackowledge has an independent Country at the hands of Afonso Henriques our first King.
It was a time of honor and freedom, unlike nowadays.
Has promised here are a few photos:
Castro Marim Medieval Fair, 2007
DaVinci Exposition Presentation
Unfortunately I am not on the pictures, because I took them myself.
This year I will be attending many events, so more pictures will be coming soon.
OHH I almost forgot! "Barão" is Portuguese for Baron, so please... either use my full name, or I prefer you called me Gouveia e Garcês.
Best regards to all!
