Knights of the Northern Realm Wiki

Welcome to the Knights of the Northern Realm Wiki
Knights of the Northern Realm is a co-ed living history club focused on the mid to late 14th century in England during the time of good King Edward III.

This wiki organizes our research as a club on topics pertaining to the re-enactment of certain aspects of 14th century medieval history. It is designed to help club members assemble authentic costumes, harnesses, and other items of interest. Although the wiki can only be edited by members of the club, all pages are viewable by the public.

In general, the wiki's purpose is two-fold:

Hopefully at some point we will be able to provide "kit guides" like this 13th century British group has done, with a view to social status, period (early to mid to late century), civilian vs. military costume, and personal accessories that come in handy during events.
 * 1) To relocate the documents hosted on our Facebook Group, which are getting quite unwieldy, and not all of our members are on Facebook anyway.  Most of these documents contain links to other internet resources.
 * 2) To provide articles or instructions that display the research that club members have done on various aspects of 14th century medieval history, with a view to helping other members benefit from that research.

About Us
Our co-ed Living History club is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was founded in 2001 as Knights of the Wild Rose - Edmonton Chapter. The Knights of the Northern Realm study authentic combat, period armour, historical clothing, and medieval history; host a 14th century Tournament, Family Field and Medieval Market each July; and an annual educational fair in May. We volunteer for charities around Edmonton, Alberta, Canada as well as paid performances for school visits, weddings, birthday parties, private events, festivals, and cultural gatherings.
