Ask thunderstormer on FSE when the site is back up.

Vince was last on steam 11 days ago... So we might be waiting a while, since he's the only person who can fix the web server...

I beleive the Saxons who made the tapestry were abit cheeky. It's odd to call it Norman propaganda when they call Harold king.

The Saxons didn't make the tapestry... They recently identified the person who made it, and he was a Norman cardinal if I can remember correctly.

im not only referring to the armor, but events in the tapestry was the main thing i was referring to, the most significant event im thinking of is King Harold Godwinson's death. the tapestry says he was struck and killed by a Norman arrow, and thats what is taught in schools etc, but Harold was actually struck down by a Norman mounted knight

As far as I can tell the Bayeux Tapestry does not explicitly show Harold Godwinson being hit by an arrow. That is because his death is not precisely portrayed altogether. In the scene labelled "Harold rex interfectus est." 'King Harold was killed.' someone is shown being struck by an arrow to the head indeed, but at the same time there is another person being slain by a rider.

The person lying on the ground and the person shown to be hit in the eye with an arrow is the same person, King Harold.

If you are referring to armour, then no.
The makers of the bayeux tapestry were just plain bad at accurately depicting the equipment used by warriors, and most other things in fact. I don't know how anybody can try to glean anything about the construction of that age's body armour besides its basic shape from the tapestry, anymore than one could accurately guess what a human face looked like based off of the faces in it.

People who try to say that they can know how the armour portrayed was constructed(based on the tapestry) are the truly inaccurate party.

im not only referring to the armor, but events in the tapestry was the main thing i was referring to, the most significant event im thinking of is King Harold Godwinson's death. the tapestry says he was struck and killed by a Norman arrow, and thats what is taught in schools etc, but Harold was actually struck down by a Norman mounted knight, hence why Harold is in a few places on the same piece of the tapestry, and if that isnt enough to convince you, there are other written records of the battle that suggest that a Norman knight killed him, and if thats not enough, the Bayeux Tapestry was edited up until the late 18th century, and on the original tapestry there are stitch markings behind Harold's head that, and those markings are from a later date.

history is written by the victor, and that is proven in this case.

anyway, getting off topic, my point is that there are a lot of incorrect sources out there about the Dark Ages, so choose carefully for your sources. if a brytenwalda dev wants to know about a good historical source then PM me, i can point you in the direction of some sources (mainly books) that i know. and if need be a friend of mine has some extent examples of both Viking and Anglo-Saxon stuff.

theres a reason its called the ''Dark Ages'', its because very little is known about the period.

so how historically accurate is this going to be? i am a dark age re-enactor, i reenact a wealthy Anglo-Saxon, and i hope to see the Anglo-Saxons in-game, the story of the Vikings can't be told without mentioning Anglo Saxon England.

as a reenactor of this period, i am very pleased to see this (i know im a bit late to the party) but i am a little concerned about the authenticity.. there are very few correct primary sources about the period, even the bayeux tapestry is incorrect on some things.

You can only be in 1 regiment at a time for one module.. i see youve applied to many on this board.

If you wish to commit to the 2ndVA, and no other regiment for N&S, then you may add me on steam - araluen494.
