Q.What is Medieval Reenactment?
A. Medieval reenactment is a part of living history. Meaning we
dress, and behave like we would in the middle-ages. One studies history, the
arts even fighting styles in our understanding of the period. We reenact life in
the Crusader states.
Q.Is it a game?
A. No, but it's fun and we do get to play. We act but can only do
what we can really do in real life. If you a a great archer then you most likely
will want to shoot, if you want to be a great sword fighter you need armor and
training. We use real skills, not make believe ones like in LARP. We are a
educational group that will help you foster skills and provide a background but
it's not a game.
Q.Is it a LARP?
A. No but it has many things in common, as we "play" a persona.
Q.What is a persona?
A. It is the medieval character you portray. It's acting or
roleplaying and should be something you enjoy and are comfortable reenacting.
Q.I'm a member of another medieval group, what about my titles?
A. You can use any titles you have earned in other groups. We
encourage members of other groups to play with us! (Exception Fantasy based
groups (Such as most LARPS)must create a medieval persona to participate with us
and can not transfer titles.)
Q. What makes you different from other medievalist groups?
A. We reenact only the area of Medieval Tortosa circa 1100-1300ad.
This creates a better reenactment for us overall. We also hope to have a very
period feel with a active Church and valid background. it allows the most varied
types of people yet while retaining educational valitity. We also are building a
village. I advise anyone to join all the local groups for the best experiance.
Q. Are you a Religious Group/Political/Other?
A. No, we are reenactors and are open to all faiths, beliefs and practices.
We don't judge anyones real world lifestyle, ethics or whatever. In fact we are
disinterested in it as it is all modernisms, we exist to reenact history as it was,
or could have been...
Real world beliefs should be left on the road when entering Tortosa for whatever
period thoughts your persona would be thinking, plus hearing modern opinions
makes one a bore and creates disunity.
Q.What is the Diocese of Tortosa/The Priory of Tortosa?
A. It's a recreationist aspect of the medieval church as it was in
Tortosa and the outer villages. They reenact the ecclesiastic costume and politics
of the church as well as providing added realism. One can't reenact medieval life
and ignore the Church.
