. INTRODUCTION .
Welcome to the website of the Norde Gard reenactment team!
We have been in the business of presenting the way of life and tactics of the 10th-11th century
Nordic tribes and the 6 th -7 th century Germanic tribes in the Carpathian Basin since 2006
As for
the ancient Nordic peoples, we introduce to our audiences the life the Vikings, an often-used
misnomer in public discourse, and those of Saint Steven’s mediaeval Slavic bodyguards. When
reenacting the period of migration, we present the culture and warfare of the Germanic
peoples of the Carpathian Basin, especially the Gepids and the Lombards.
We invite those
interested to take a closer look at the daily lives, customs and struggles of these peoples, and
get a more authentic picture about the aforementioned periods of history.
Our team continuously monitors research from these eras and the results of the latest
excavations. Many of our members are well established archaeologists, historians and
professionals of other related disciplines and crafts and are connected through their work and
daily lives to the historic periods we present.
We design our equipment and programs based on
this knowledge in order to create the most authentic image.
In addition to preserving traditions, our reenactment team has been featured in American,
Austrian, Canadian and British educational and entertainment movie productions. The support
we receive from museums adds great value to our work and enables us to access important
scientific materials from original sources.
We would like to thank the Aquincum Museum, the War History Institute and Museum, the
“Sticker” Museum and Archeological Park as well as the students and teachers of ELTE
University and Pázmány Péter University for their support.
