Description
Herald the burning sun as she rises above the tranquil French countryside. The medieval turrets of the imposing Aigues-Mortes fortress cast shadows across hundreds of medieval tents with their fluttering pennants and at least twenty port-a-loos.
This is the world’s biggest and most brutal, full-contact, period tournament, Battle of the Nations 2013.
Knight Club is the story of Rob, Dan, Gwilym and Sam, a gallant band of English and Welsh knights, who are part of the fledgling debut British team. Dressed head to toe in clanking armour and wielding mighty swords their quest is to defeat the vicious Russians, the terrifying Israelis and the aggressive Americans.
This is no re-enactment, this is the real deal and with only a few weeks training under their chainmail, is at best ambitious, at worst foolhardy.
But... the novice knights have that bulldog spirit and draped in the flag of St. George, they have hope in their hearts and a Ford Transit full of axes, maces and broadswords.
