The historical activities in Godesverder are developed to encourage the understanding of the medieval history of Livonia through empiric, personal experience.
We all know well that we can learn things by reading, watching and listening, but even more effectively – by experiencing.
Thus we offer our guests a unique chance to try out those actions which, perhaps, one would know only from films and novels.
What and how is it – to throw a javelin, an axe, knife, shoot with a bow, to sling, to operate a medieval siege engines; what is a sword – is it a decoration, iron bar or, perhaps – the king of the close combat weapons? How to fight with a pike, and – what is worth a man on a field?
What is the weight of the XIV century suite of armor, is it possible to move dressed in it, what is the difference between the armament of a cavalryman and a foot soldier and why?
In terms of our academic knowledge, ten years of training and empiric experience we will help you to find the answers and discover your own ability to be precise, focused in action, strong and daring.
