Introduction

In America, there has been a growing interest in reenacting history. An especially noteable time period is the English renaissance. England entered the renaissance later than the rest of Europe. The monarchs most responsible for England entering this era are Henry VIII and his children, most notably Elizabeth. These Web pages are devoted to sharing information on how to become an active participant of English renaissance reenacting. You'll find information about groups that participate in Renaissance events, historical information about the era, and resources to help you reenact.

Please note that we do have a bias. We are from Southern California and we do Elizabethan military reenactment. We'll have much more detailed information about those areas (Like St. Michael's). Do not hesitate, though, to E-mail us Education Information more information.
