Dressed as medieval noble-a local Lord,armed with the sword, dagger,hunnic bow with arrows will provide an exciting and authentic guiding experience traveling back in time,when we gonna dive deep into historical particularities of the medieval period or middle ages. Feudalism, castles, knights, weapons, culture, emergence of towns will be our topic.For 10 years my interest does not lie only in historical studies, but also in medieval reenactment. Middle age period lasted 1000 years and it was a period generally considered as brutal and violent but on the other side it was a period of a great economical, social and cultural progress. The second one-the progress is connected to emergence of medieval towns in particular, when the international trade started to flourish. And middle ages were the era of builders, they left us extraordinary monuments in stone, and Radovljica has it all, the castle, the gothic cathedral and excellent example of rising "bourgeois" class architecture.
