Welcome to Alabama Medieval Fantasy Festival March 25 & 26, 2023

The Egilsson Society, in conjunction with HERA, is honored to welcome you to our living history encampment, where you can experience life in the late 16th and early 17th century.

Every day brings new challenges as we train live steel fighters in the use of various weapons and battle tactics, while working with Society guildmembers to build a new working village home for our talented fiber artisans, blacksmiths, cooks and other wonderful camp followers.

Come join us for fun and informative demonstrations including live steel fighting, spinning, weaving, blacksmithing and interactive discussions about life in the early modern age.

Cookery

Janet Wright aka Mistress Judith Cook has been doing historic cooking demonstrations for over a decade.

Medieval cooking was both an art, a chore, and a dangerous occupation. Try to imagine no temperature control except your eye and the color of your flame, bent over an open pit while wearing layers of cloth.

Mistress Cook and her kitchen help know the dangers and hardships all too well, yet during Kingdom events provide authentically prepared meals as well as continuously demonstrating their art.
