Bloodfeud In The Danelaw: A Viking Age Immersion Event

The year is 880 in a bustling trade/crafting town on the border of the Danelaw and English Mercia.  On what should be a peaceful market day, two feuding Jarls and their war bands, come for blood.

This is an immersive Viking age event.  We will be doing everything possible to make this feel like we are in 880 AD.  It is our hope and desire for all who attend to make an effort to be in that era while still having fun.  The town has Danes, Norse, Swedes, and Anglo-Saxons.  Franks/Normans, Scots, Picts, Gaels are less common.  Moors/Berbers and Saracens are uncommon but could be there.  Garb is encouraged to be Viking age and look the part at a 10-foot distance.  Viking age tents will be located closer to the main areas to help with the feel while other period tents further back and non-period tent behind that. 

The focus of the event will be the Bloodfeud between the Jarls.  There will be melee scenarios all day to help each Jarl gain wordfame and ultimately their revenge.  The fighting has a specific rule-set, and guidelines that are different than regular SCA combat, and I would urge any who are interestedWe have set up rules for an armor as worn Viking age combat with period armor and weapon standards that will be enforced for the scenario.  The rule set can be found here:

There will also be a period archery shoot, thrown weapons, equestrian and bardic that will fill out the days activities and contribute to each sides renown, as well as a filling period feast .

Fire, feasting, fighting, archery, children\\\'s activities and other frivolities!  People-friendly pets on leashes at all times allowed (no pets in the INNE, please) Children welcome in the Inne with accompanying adults.  There is a feast on Saturday evening ,seating for first 75.
