At 6 p.m.: Martial arts in the Middle Ages; performed by the Academia Artis Dimicatoriae
Armor was the exceptional protection of knights, these elite warriors who were considered invincible for a long time. But how is the armor actually put on and what parts does it consist of? How did the knight - before going into battle - protect himself, how did he dress? In addition to these basic facts, AAD members will also present duels - without armor - with different weapons, which depended on the reason for fighting. A court duel was, of course, not the same as a battle on the battlefield, and a tournament fight was something else entirely.
From 18:00 to 22:00: DRAGON, summer to the heights!; creative workshop for children
In a relaxed atmosphere, children will get to know concepts such as - knight, lady, castle, middle ages, etc. and made paper kites. Maybe we can raise the dragons to the sky…
