Hallo zusammen, and hello to all the guys whom I had the pleasure of seeing again at Bouvines this weekend. I hope you had a gute reise ( see, I remembered ^^) Thank you for accepting me here.
My name is Leïla and I am part of Grävlingar (aka the badgers),a small viking and norman group in Lyon, France. I have always been interested in medieval history but my first love is combat, I like to fight with a round shield and a viking sword and I'm not too bad with a spear ^^
Apart from fighting, I like sewing and medieval crafts in general, which gives me the opportunity to make a lot of the costumes and accessories for my friends.
Lyon is almost in southern France, and there isn't much viking reenactment going on, so I always try to motivate our group to travel to look for new events (but I don't drive so I have to ask the guys very nicely ^^). Our group is affiliated to The Vikings UK, and we participate in Hastings every year, as well as other events when we can. We also have good contacts in northern Italy,and our most exciting next project is to participate in 2014 in the reenactment of an 11th century battle in southern Italy, with a byzantine & varangian army versus a norman army.
We haven't been to Germany yet, so if you ever feel like accepting french reenactors, you can keep us informed on your events ^^ If you want to go to events in the UK ( there is the 13thc. battle of Largs in august for example), I can inform you as well. We also hope to create an event for july 2014 near Lyon and the plan is to invite french and foreign troops, so I'll keep you posted on that if you think you can make the journey.
Anyway, this is getting long, so I really hope to see you next year or sooner, thank you all again for the lovely evening spent in your company sharing alcohol and stories, and thank you Ares for keeping me hydrated with water, I'm sure that I avoided a terrible hangover thanks to you, you're a gentleman.
