Festive #HenryVI joy for you - featuring war, mental illness, murder and child rulers! (Hey the C15th political scene is looking quite good at the minute...)

A little treat to myself. Merry Christmas. #thanksfightsanta #HansTalhoffer #medievaltwitter

It's not Christmas until you have a weapon.

Practice your art by necessity, honestly and never in foolish vanity. Then you will remain a good and true man, a true swordsman. For thus is the art of the sword thought out, that you should practice truly in a spirit of chivalry. ⚔️ - Hanko Dobringer, 1389 #swords #stagecombat

Planning a workshop exploring the South Italian Longsword of Marc'Antonio Pagano from 1553. Who brings a longsword to a banquet? Details soon...

Pagano Longsword workshop complete. Turns out you bring a sword to a banquet if you're wearing metal under your doublet and an iron mask under your hat. #hema #history #16thcenturystagecombat

Being a #freelancer can be hard at times. But it's also hugely rewarding. In the last week I've ran a workshop for Shakespeare’s Globe, performed in the #ShakeItUp festival as part of Duellorum & soon I will take up a position as #stagecombat tutor at ArtsEd. #ilovemyjob BritAcDramaticCombat

Giles of Rome says 'vsynge of children to coold is good and profitable for dedes of armes. For colde fastneþ þe lymes and membres and maken hem sad..." Anyone know any other examples of temperature in medieval physical training?

Want to see us in action? The Duellorum team will be exploring Elizabethan martial arts as entertainment at this fabulous event! beforeshakespeare.com/2020/01/31/ruf…
