Knights in Battle

Founded in 1973 as a medieval reenactment society, Knights in Battle has gone from strength to strength and has evolved into one of the best medieval Living History groups in the UK. We're a Living History group based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, that mainly portrays members of the household of Sir John Howard. Sir John Howard later became the 1st Duke of Norfolk and one of the most influential men of his period. His household staff and retinue was incredibly large and consisted of people performing every aspect and role of Medieval life. Our members like to explore the different roles and jobs of the household, these include combat through to artisanal crafts such as leather, wood and metal work. We pride ourselves on our authenticity and attention to detail portraying the men and women of the Howard household, but we also pride ourselves on having a good time whilst doing that.
