We are a battle Re-enactment society, which attempts to recreate the early Middle Ages, primarily the 10th and 11th Centuries.
Britain at this period was influenced by many different cultures. Saxon, Viking and Norman being the most commonly portrayed.
Our local group Y Cantref, are the Cardiff based branch of Regia Anglorum. We typically represent the native Britons of the period, who the Saxons named ‘Welsh’.
Our group is often hired for displays by local councils, museums and other such bodies. For small local shows we can be hired directly. For large scale displays, Regia as a whole can be hired.
We focus on both military displays, using blunted steel weapons and on civilian craft displays, appropriate to the period.
All Regia groups strive to maintain a high standard of authenticity. We make the majority of our own costumes and assist new members in learning about the period.
If you are interested in hiring us for a display, please post your interest in our forum, which can be accessed via the "forum" link at the top of the page.

Here is an example of a public show we took part in. This is taken from the JORVIK VIKING FESTIVAL, 1994, which is a regular Show that Regia Anglorum attends around February every year.
This was not filmed by the Cardiff Regia Anglorum group, however some Cardiff members are displayed in this Video and is a good example of what a Regia Anglorum show can look like.
