Medieval Freeco
Добавлен 1 мар 2017
The Medieval Free Company is a group of families and individuals who all share a common interest in medieval history. We specialise in the recreation of the lifestyle of a group of mercenaries during the Wars of the Roses period. Everything within the camp is recreated, through research, with as much historical accuracy as possible and with materials and methods that would have been available at the time.
This channel is designed to show you a snapshot of our living history camp and our archery displays as well as a few short insights into medieval crafts, skills and way of life.

Medieval Free Company - Hurdy Gurdy being played at Corfe Castle
Просмотров 2107 лет назад
The hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by a crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents-small wedges, typically made of wood-against one or more of the strings to change their pitch. w...
This is wonderful info thank you I will be making the horseshoe game for sure and maybe the other one too. I love games and am always on the lookout for ones that are easy, fun, and can be made by my self within the means of my limited crafting skillls

I like the simplicity of the first game"Horseshoe" in how you play it and how simple it is to make!
Looks like a ems henry 3rd trapezoidal,court model?
That story about the rules manuscript is really interesting.
WE ARE USLESS NOW !!! HARD TIMES !! NESSEATY IS THE MOTHER of INVENTION ✌👊👏g
This is basically checkers
That was great thank you very much. I’ve always wondered how iron gall ink was made.
Tony Harcourt. 17th May 1949 - 6th January 2021 It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Ralph Waldo Emerson R.I.P. old friend. I know where to find you.
We've really got into gaming the last 3 years. It creates such good family time and rips people away from the Zombie held devices. I have a few questions on this game. No backwards moves ? No kinging ? majority of pcs making it to the oppositions 1st line wins ? Good video !
Nice presentation! I've been doing something similar for late 14th century living history.
Lovely video! And a good simple explanation into the games! I found it as I was exploring around Alfonso's games, for some future videos of my own. Do you know how sure we are of the rules to horseshoe? It's not in Libro de los juegos, and I'm curious of if there are other sources for the actual rules?
What's the name of first abstract board game? Thanks!
It looks like fanorona but plays like checkers
He called the first game "Horseshoe" but idk for the second one...
Well depending on how far back you go in history it gets kind of hard to tell what's a game and what's am odd device or design we don't have a good explanation for. There are a few examples of neolithic rocks with holes drilled into them in very particular patterns, but there's no way of knowing of they were a game or not. Mancala on the other hand has been played throughout nearly all of African history to the present day, and because of the simplicity of materials involved some variation of it assumed to be the first game. As for games we know for certain how to play and are fairly confidently able to date, the Royal Game of Ur or the game of 20 squares was played in Mesopotamia since at least 2400 BC Edit: oh you meant in the video...
The second game is like Kono
This was a super interesting and well presented video. I’ve been trying to find more info on medieval games
Seems
www.ancientgames.org/alfonso-xs-book-games-libro-de-los-juegos/ LINK ABOUT THE REFERENCED MANUSCRIPT
Can you tell us the name of the manuscript? Or even better, provide a link to it?
I believe it is called Alfonso x book of games.
Bit of a late answer, two years :-) But if you didn't find it, it's Libro de los juegos. Here's the wikipedia entry, from there you should be able to find your way to more documentation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libro_de_los_juegos
@@JonBck better late then never! ty for the link :)
