As a (semi-retired?) historical re-enactor, I was delighted to see an article in this week's Hereford Times about a duel between a Viking and a Medieval knight.
Ben Quick, "The Anvil", from Hereford and Goatworn Armband from Devon held a duel somewhere in a field in Hereford to raise money for charities for the homeless. They chose St. George's Crypt in Leeds and Path Devon.
The duel was fought on 10th April in authentic armour, with blunted steel weapons, with a referee, and the fight was filmed. The video is available to view online on a pay-per-view basis, to raise more money for the charities.
They have a Facebook page called Anvil vs Goatworn: Fight for the Homeless and there are also details of the fight at the St. George's Crypt website www.stgeorgescrypt.org.uk
