Fantastic footage, Rui! Thank you so much for taking it to share with us :) The festival looked amazing with so many activities and beautiful costumes. I was particularly fond of the horses of course, hehe ;) It was fun to see some archery with fire too!
Yes, that festival is quite fantastic...they always excel in the activities and costumes... During a week that city really goes back to the middle ages...
And the horses truly are very beautiful...Wile I'm there I'm in constant awe with the talent of the riders.. it is very impressive.... :)
the shit faced christians and jews obeyed greek pagan rule for 2000 years, killed us for a short while, killed each other christian and muslim into endanger-ment, then we pagans rise again but this time, we don't tell the christians and jews to obey us pagans so we stay in power since the year now: 2012 at the time 12:14pm and we pagans are to stay in power forever more : )
the question is, when are we going to rid the world of MALE RULE and not suffer a defeat after victory ?
We waited long time, however, very much worth the wait for you to present this wonderful video and look into medieval times. Your videos are always so well put together, thought out and interesting.
Also, it really amazes me too see that kind of thing there! And then to see the costumes and everything.
I mean that really happened there. For an American, "Europe" is where all the history comes from. hahaha. Americans love that kind of stuff. We're not too interested in Revolutionary or Civil wars.
You guys have the real thing over there! Here we have well...more showmanship. America is all about showmanship, and sometimes, unfortunately, little substance.
So you guys had to fight off the Moors as well? Interesting. I was unclear on one part of your history. Does Portugal, as Spain does, claim to have existed before the Moorish civilization? Or is Portugal founded after Moorish rule?
Great song. And The Morrigan is one of my favorite concepts in Celtic pagan history.
Well there is also a fair amount of showmanship here but there is always a nice care to balance that with some historical accuracy...
Yes, we also fought the Moors... in fact, Portugal, in a way, was founded because of that fight, our first king was the son a a french knight who came here to help the Christian kings in their fight, he then got a county (the Portucalense County) as a reward and spent his life trying to make that county an independent country...
Yes, this fair is absolutely amazing... so big and filled with so many details... in fact one of the things I find most incredible is the way the entire town enters so well in the spirit of things and everyone there seems to want to collaborate in some way... History really does come alive. :)
Hi Rui! What a wonderful video and what a wonderful Medieval Fair! Everything looked so authentic! The executioner in his black hood was really scary! I loved the period music! Ancient/Celtic music is one of my passions. Did you sample any of the Medieval foods? How about a bowl of gruel? A hunk of meat on a stick? A yeasty mug of grog? Haha! : ) I read with interest the video notes describing how you searched for a theme to guide the video. Again I am amazed what a natural Artist you are.
Brian! Thank you so much for your kind comment. Yes, this is a brilliant Fair, they try very hard to be authentic...and I do think it shows...
I love the spirit in which it is done and there are so many amazing and well achieved details... for example...if you found the executioner scary (and he was) you should see last years reenactment of a public execution...at night... it was so meticulously done (I was particularly impressed by the make up) as to the point of almost being disturbing...(...)
(...) And the food...well it is one of the highlights of the fair... you can't go without at least tasting a boar sandwich (yes, sandwiches are a bit of an anachronism, but I think it is forgiveable...like the use of cutlery) they are delicious...and gruel (believe it or not) is still highly appreciated here by many people in northern Portugal (we call it Papas de Sarrabulho)...not particularly by me, though... but those who like it say that the ones served here are amongst the very best... ;)
It is very fantastic ,informative and interesting channel.
