Fàilte gu St. Swithin’s Bog! (Welcome to St. Swithin’s Bog!). It is the turn of the 13th century, and there is unrest in Scotland. Alexander III of House Dunkeld has died, and his sole surviving descendant Margaret the “Maid of Norway” has also died enroute to Scotland. The succession is now in crisis! John Balliol has attempted to claim the throne, being endorsed by Edward I the “Longshanks” of England. But Balliol has proven weak, and since he swore allegiance to England, Edward I has decided to annex Scotland for himself! But the Scots were not content and rose up against this English king. First under the leadership of William Wallace and Andrew Moray, then under John Comyn. Now, Robert the Bruce has killed his rival Comyn and been crowned King of Scotland and Edward of England is marching against him! Arm yourselves, for the fate of Scotland rests in your hands! Alba gu bràth!
Join us on 3-Day for yet another fun-filled weekend of martial activities including Heavy, Thrown Weapons, Rapier, and Archery. We will again have A&S Activities including the 16th Annual Iron Scribe Competition! There are also children and youth activities planned.
