Summary

Pathe synopsis: One of the most exclusive clubs in the world meets regularly in a quiet field in Kent to fight with rapier and dagger, quarter-staves, broadsword and battleaxe. Members of the Mediaeval Society are really practical historians. They make weapons, armour, banners and pavilions and really relive the past. And their fight sequences are as dangerous and frightening as any swashbuckling film stunt men perform - and these chaps do it for fun.
