The Vikings (reenactment)
"The Vikings" is a British-based society of re-enactors, dedicated to the study and re-enactment of the culture of the Viking Age (790 – 1066) and the display of authentic Dark Ages living history and combat.
== Origins ==
The Vikings, previously known as the Norse Film and Pageant Society (NFPS), which was founded in 1971 by Peter Seymour and Allan Jeffery, initially as an extension to their 'Central Focus' WWII film club. They are the oldest and largest Dark Ages society in the UK.〔BBC News: "Normans fight Saxons... and the rain". "Most of the re-enactment participants are part of Britain's largest Dark Age re-enactment society, The Vikings."〕〔(King Harold and William Square Up ), BBC News, October 14, 2006〕 They are a founding member of the National Association of Re-enactment Societies. In its N.F.P.S days, the society consisted of some thirty core members, including the 'Odin Guard' an elite combat group maintaining Norse Heathen religious practices and values, but which eventually left the society during the leadership of Gerry East, whose recruitment tactics eventually took the membership into the three hundred plus bracket. The Society now has over 800 members throughout Britain, Europe and North America. While the Society concentrates mainly on the 10th Century, events are often set in the wider period from 790 to 1066, with the appropriate modifications to dress and equipment used.
Despite the 'Vikings!' title of the Society, the groups within it portray Saxon,〔Richards. "Members of a group called The Vikings...posing as Saxons were raising money for the British Heart Foundation."〕 Norman, Celtic, and Viking cultures.
