California Members
  • January 31
    On the 31st of January, four of us from Regia Anglorum North America and The Vikings of Kyrbyr participated in filming the host segments for an upcoming series on the History Channel. The series is called "Conquerors" (I believe) and the episode on William the Conqueror is scheduled to be shown on the 30th of March. We understand the primary battle re-enactment was staged in the UK, but I don't know who was involved in that piece.
    I've put up some photos of the filming on my web site: Click on the link named "The History Channel: Conquerors - William the Conqueror" on the left hand menu. Jack Garrett Alamo, California
