Hello Jasper,
I thank you for your warm welcome.
I present myself:
My name is Angelos Angelidis.
I 'm greek and I live in Paris.
I got into historical re-enactment last year,in a new medieval association called Excalibur-Ile de France.
I soon fell in love with history reading and specially warfare.
I am training in medieval combat and I m' taking part in European tournaments.For the moment I fight in a Byzantine leather lamellae armour,but I hope to be able soon to create a greek hoplite armour.Obviously I will need to adjust it for contact fighting,as we get to hit each other rather strongly with steel swords and axes.
The reason I wanted to inscribe in your forum is for getting more historical information,meet new people in Ancient re-enactment and get informed in any festivals organised in Europe.
I 'd really love to come and assist,meet you all personally and spend a few days in the camp.
I heard there is an ancient Greek Festival coming up in England this summer.Do you have any information on that?
I salut you all,members of this forum,and I hope to stand in phalanx next to you as soon as poss.
Angelos
