This group of re-enactors is focused on the Wars of the Roses. Several times a year, the Red Company portrays a continental military company in the service of Burgundy in the year 1471. During these encampments, they sleep in tents, cook their meals over a fire, shoot crossbows, fight with swords and pole arms, drill with pikes and ride their horses in armor. More than merely acting a part, they actually live the life of a medieval person for a few fleeting days.
