The Company of Saynt George is a group of enthusiasts recreating the military and civil
life of a Burgundian artillery unit between 1460 and 1480. Our goal is to live late
medieval day-to-day life as intensely and realistically as possible, from the calf
leather shoes of the blacksmith to the feather decorated helmet of the Captain.
We represent soldiers (gunners, archers and halberdiers), artisans and their families.

We are not actors in costumes, we are seeking to grasp a glimpse of our forefathers'
lives by wearing clothes and using items which were carefully crafted according to
historical evidence. We work on a steady improvement in our portrayal, with the latest
research as the key guideline. The narrow definition of the period portrayed permits
a higher degree of authenticity. Our main interest lies more in the evocation of
living history and than in the re-enactment of historical battles. At our events we
want to share this experience with visitors. We adapt to the local environment
and history as well as to the demands of our partners.
Therefore we occasionally portray troops from other areas of Europe in the employs
of our masters.
