In the fourteenth part of the inspiration series, will be have a look at Russian reenactor Yevgeny Danilov, aka Hǫskulðr, who gained my admiration for his approach to historical reconstruction. Yevgeny comes from Kursk. With his wife Yuliya Danilova, they own a shop that is focused on medieval tents and hand-sewn costumes, named Familia Sartores. […]
For some time now, I have regularly encountered questions about what the scabbards of Early medieval single-edged swords looked like. These questions are legitimate and are related to the increased interest in the real forms of Early medieval arms, but also to the absence of literature that would discuss the problem. This topic got my […]
Recently, my sponsor Michael Weller drew my attention to an interesting find from Birka, which I overlooked for years and which has the potential to become quite popular in reenactment, although I have not seen its successful reproduction to this day – a multifunctional comb. I would like to briefly describe this interesting find in […]
V nedávné době jsem byl svým sponzorem Michaelem Wellerem upozorněn na zajímavý nález z Birky, který jsem roky přehlížel a který má potenciál stát se poměrně populárním v reenactmentu, ačkoli do dnešního dne jsem neviděl jeho zdařilou reprodukci – multifunkční hřeben. Tento zajímavý nález bych chtěl v níže přiloženém článku stručně popsat, zmínit analogie a […]
In this short article, we will focus on the interpretations of the bags that are very widespread within the Viking Age reenactment. Our main goal will be to compare the informative value of archaeological finds with the usual procedure of how these artifacts are currently reconstructed not only by reenactors, but also the museums. The […]
V tomto nedlouhém článku se zaměříme na interpretace tašek, které jsou v rámci reenactmentu doby vikinské velmi rozšířené. Naším hlavním cílem bude komparace výpovědní hodnoty archeologických nálezů s běžným postupem, jak jsou tyto artefakty v aktuální době rekonstruovány nejen reenactory, ale také muzejním prostředím. Článek bude doplněn o pozdně středověkou a raně novověkou ikonografii, která […]
Putting the story of human life in four small paragraphs is an impossible, painful, and undignified task, which I nevertheless put on my shoulders in the belief that a short bow to one great man and a look back at his life is better than burdensome silence and ignorance. As the world faces the greatest […]
In eleventh part of the inspiration series, we will take a look at excellent reconstruction of Old Hungarian warrior by young Russian reenactor Nikita Bolbikov. When I wrote this article, Nikita was 22 years old, living in Moscow and has been doing re-enactment for the ninth year. He began – just like most Russian reenactors […]
As we often encounter the opinion that swords of the Early Middle Ages are rare, exceptionally discovered finds, we decided to create a paper that would try to estimate how many European swords from the period of 9th-11th century we actually know. This is a relatively common question in both academia and reenactment, to which […]
Jelikož se často setkáváme s názorem, že meče raného středověku jsou raritní, výjimečně objevované nálezy, rozhodli jsme se vytvořit příspěvek, který by se pokusil odhadnout, kolik evropských mečů z období 9.-11. století ve skutečnosti známe. V akademické i reenactorské sféře jde o poměrně častou otázku, na kterou přitom neexistuje jednoznačná odpověď; pro akademiky jsou počty […]
In the next part of the sword series, I decided to focus on a small group of rare and not very widespread swords – Petersen type G. This type of sword is practically unknown among the reenactors, probably due to its unconventional appearance or limited distribution. The aim of this article will be to introduce […]
The question of when I will write my first book, I have met regularly for many years, but the idea of implementing this plan began to mature only in the last three years. When I ended my employment at the beginning of 2020 and became independent thanks to the help of sponsors, it turned out […]
