Welcome To

Vikingr in Vinland


This website is intended to be a central resource for all North American Early Medieval re-enactors, be they Viking, Saxon, Norman or Celt.

All the groups listed here are active in fighting with blunted steel swords and historically accurate armour and open faced helmets. There are (or soon will be) links to local groups across the continent, and many of them have websites with articles of interest to the re-enactor or Living Historian and a link to a mailing list where we share ideas and plans for encampments.

The webpage is the total organisation of the Vinland Vikingr and does not seek to impose any rules or regulations on the bodies named, and is not responsible for the contents of their websites.

Steel combat is different from rattan or waster and requires an entirely different set of skills. A webpage which outlines the basic differences and required skills can be found here.

Links

This table has links to Viking-age groups across the US and Canada who are active in steel-combat re-enactment.
