                <text>&lt;p&gt;Rognvald&amp;rsquo;s Lith: Lismore Medieval Re-enactment Society is a re-enactment group founded in 2003 and based in Lismore, New South Wales. The group concentrate on the period 700-1200 and such peoples as Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Rus, and Vikings. Combat and weapon training with swords, spears, axes, staves, shields, javelins, archery, chain mail, and helmets is carried out. Rognvald&amp;rsquo;s Lith (Rognvald&amp;rsquo;s troop) do public performances, including educational performances for schools.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The group is named after Rognvald Ingvarson, a commander of the Varangian Guard (who fought for the Byzantine Empire) from Sweden. The club&amp;rsquo;s banner is based on the serpent design of a eleventh-century runic inscription in Uppsala that Rognvald had made. Their website includes photographs of the runestone, as well as other designs based on Viking Art, including the &amp;lsquo;gripping-beast&amp;rsquo; motif.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>This is one of a series of pre-action photographs taken by photographer Richard Taylor at Nurragingy Reserve in 2011. It shows an â€˜old warriorâ€™ displaying steely determination to survive a potentially dangerous encounter. The subject of the photograph is a participant at the Blacktown Medieval Fayre. He wears a chainmail hood (a coif) and shirt (hauberk or haubergeon), and a Norman style helmet. Chain mail was used extensively in the middle ages to fashion protective garments by interlocking thousands of metal rings to form a meshed material. Chainmail garments were worn by medieval knights and soldiers as body armour until chainmail was gradually superseded by plate armour in the fourteenth century.   &#13;
The Blacktown Medieval Fayre is billed as â€œa world of medieval magic,â€ and is part of the annual Blacktown Fiesta, an eight day extravaganza hosted by Blacktown City Council. It is just one of several interesting medieval events held throughout the country at different times of the year.</text>

                <text>This is a â€˜frozenâ€™ combat image taken at the Blacktown Medieval Fayre by photographer Richard Taylor in 2011. It depicts a participant dressed in a Norman style helmet complete with a chainmail collar known as an avential or camal, and engaged in combat. The participants and combatants in medieval re-enactment groups generally pay considerable attention to detail. Their clothing and war gear is researched and often handcrafted, and when it comes to re-enacting â€˜combatâ€™ all bouts are marshalled. However, the combat is also based on an honour system, in which â€œevery fighter must decide which blows hit hard enough for him to yield or fall deadâ€  (For more on this, see Patrick Oâ€™Donnell, The Knights Next Door: Everyday People Living Middle Ages Dreams, Lincoln, iUniverse Inc., 2004). Re-enacted combat combines medieval fighting techniques and entertainment. In Medieval Fantasy as Performance: The Society for Creative Anachronism and the Current Middle Ages (Lanham, The Scarecrow Press, 2010), Michael Cramer observes that participation in creative anachronistic events is largely performance-driven (p.xii). That is to say, historical re-enactment is essentially theatre, and this is a significant part of the appeal.&#13;

                <text>This is one of several â€˜battleâ€™ images from the NEMAS Easter Gathering in Armidale, NSW, in 2008. A number of medieval re-creation enthusiasts are engaged in close combat. They are armed with swords and what look to be mostly kite shields, and wear an assortment of different early medieval helmet styles. These include Norman style helmets with nasal bars and kettle hats. &#13;
The Gathering is a biannual assembly of re-enactment societies from Australasia traditionally hosted by the New England Medieval Arts Society Inc (or NEMAS). At these gatherings, members aim to recreate medieval arts and craft such as woodworking, blacksmithing, tanning, spinning and weaving, as well as arms and armour construction. The photo gallery depicts scenes of daily life: market stalls, people sitting around campfires, even a King and his attendants, as well as recreated battles. &#13;
