Trebuchet, couillard, espringale…
Weapon's evolution in the medieval ages
From the tool to the war weapon
Medieval reenactors from Tournai/Ath in Belgium, our goal is to bring to the masses some tools, machines and skills close to the medieval ones.
Nous ne représentons pas une époque bien précise, nous voulons montrer la grande variété d’équipement possible pour que l’évolution des objets, des mentalités soit perceptible.
Nous maîtisons principalement la facture d’arcs, la création d’armes de siège et l’approche didactique de ces métiers. Nos connaissances du travail du bois et de la forge nous permettent la création de notre matériel avec une grand souci d’authenticité. Plus d’infos ?
Motto : He Whom Wants, Can
cofounder of the companionship. His passion for architecture is the origin of multiple siege engines and models. Since a few years, bowmaking became his hobby... he does not fear to experiment, even if it breaks the bow !
Motto : Tiiiiimbeeeeeeeer !!!
cofounder of the companionship in 2000. He is also a teacher and the main origin of our pedagogic approach : sharing with visitors, showing the weapons, expose forsaken techniques and explaining our siege engines and bows.
Motto : Be ignored the ill thinking
Joins the companionship in 2013. Made a awful lot of timber wood until failing to and making bows instead. He's also our webmaster.
Motto : With each mouthful a new flavour
Met on a camp in 2015 with his own fellowship, he joins us after a few times. His passion for archery brings him to the bow making and fletching... his ever-smiling behaviour is essential for us.
