Summary

Pathe synopsis: ... and it really does when the Mediaeval Society take to the battlefield. Armed to the teeth with axes, swords and morningstars. They engage in near-mortal combat in an attempt to relive the pageantry of the Middle Ages. And they’re master craftsmen in their own right, forging their own weapons - exact replicas they use to act out their elaborately organised, and pretty dangerous representatives of man-to-man combat.
