🇬🇧 De Huurlingen van de Lage Landen: a portrait of mercenary life

Armours, weaponry and crafts. Step into the encampment of De Huurlingen van de Lage Landen and discover what life was really like for a travelling soldier. This Dutch reenactment group brings the world of late 15th-century mercenaries back to life with a sharp eye for authenticity.

Wander between the tents to watch demonstrations of how the equipment was built and how it was used. And don't miss the painting studio, where icons and marginalia are recreated by hand.
