If you dont know the pikes push against each other. One sides fall. We back off and push again. It is competative and there is pride in who can push the most. Its hard, sweaty work but adds to the fun and comraderie. At the end of the day(hate that term) we end up in a jolly good p up. I really think everyone should try it once.
Been thinking about joining to XVII century reenactment group. I'm more in Medieval warfare but also like XVI- XVII century warfare from European countries like Italian wars, Landsknechts of Holy Roman Empire, Spanish Tercios it's beautiful warfare and rapid evolution of weapons.
Briliant, great video I find the English Civil War very interesting. I've done American Civil War reenacting and enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for sharing this video...
@tristan2345 I'VE TALKED TO OUR CAPT AND WE ARE MORE TO THE 1565 TO 1669 AND GOING TO 1720'S PIRATES- SOON I WILL HAVE SOME VIDEO OF 1998 BATTLE OF NASBY THAT WAS IN STANTON, VA AND(WORCESTER) CAPTAIN WILLIAM IS ON FACE BOOK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL THE SHE COLONEL, EMAIL ME HERE M8
@MrNayl0r it all came crumbling down after bristol was lost as they had no way of supplying their forces as well as the new model army, bristol being one of the 3 major ports of the country at the time
Also at least Cromwell knew what he was doing. Unlike charles he, appointed an expert to command the parliamentarian army whilst Charles I took charge himself.
Are the sealed knot battles the like that the "fallen" keep laying on the ground or aren't there any "dead"? ^^ I asc because I've never seen some "corpses" in these vidios.
We live near Wicksteed Park, Kettering. The sealed Knot has done a few battles here. We got cornered in the pub by one of their roundheads who kept going on and on about clever Adolf Hitler was.
To be fair to the Sealed Knot it is not really a re-enactment society. In fact amongst real re-enactors it's a bit of a joke. What it is a social club that does BIG battles and it does that pretty well. In order to do that it needs a big membership so it stands to reason that it will end up recruiting from both the extreme right and the extreme left. The Sealed Knot does not really care nor do they give a stuff about historical accuracy so long as they make up the numbers.
so its for different people then. Yours is for those who enjoy doing everything anally to make sure it is perfect. Mine is for people who enjoy socialising, and at the same time providing a spectacle, and a little education.
I went to this muster at Bennets Farm. I remember the idiot dressed as a covenanter in the beet tent trying to start several fights, and some racsist in a red coat calling me a yid. Not bother with them since
What you don't see in this clip is the "point of pike" manoeuvre which has opposing pike units advancing with pikes levelled. Also, during the push it wasn't impossible that the pikes would raise and the situation would degenerate into a melee. Furthermore, there needs to be an element of competition between pike blocks to maintain rivalry, so although the push isn't the most consistently credible action, it's worth doing.
Not yet its near the end of the season now (winter comes on with more rain) Will have to wait until next year Where do you live? The society you would want would be the Sealed Knot society. Would you be a royalist or parliamentarian?

I think Charles lost because he fled London. London was where the money was.

Maybe things wouldn't have gone so badly for England is Cromwell's forces were made up of old fat tossers.
But hey, Cromwell's Puritan forces were virgins too, so there's some historical accuracy in this vid.
