The Vikings originated in Scandinavia, in countries now known as Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The Viking period covered from about the sack of Lindisfarne 793 CE to The Battle of Hastings 1066 CE.
Our knowledge of the Vikings is hampered by the lack of recorded history. Archaeological finds are being revisited and there are still more being made, adding to our knowledge.
The Viking artefacts provide an excellent opportunity to learn how their furniture, equipment and accoutrements were made, used, and function, as well as a starting point for learning about their culture and time in history.
This volume contains a collection of knowledge amassed over 30 years in the pursuit of a better historical presentation. It sets out the why’s and wherefores, and highlights the traps and pitfalls for the unwary, so that you the reader can start or continue on the journey to a more accurate presentation for the purpose of living history, re-enactment, a display in a museum or just an interest of history.

Historic Replica Construction comprises various projects with instructions on how to make the items while learning more about life in the 14th Century.
The 14th century was a time of war and wonders and was the beginning of the Renaissance, where the arts and architecture reached new heights and degrees of sophistication. The rise of international trade in the period brought about the rise of the merchant class and saw the rise of city-states like Florence and Pisa. The flow of knowledge was assisted by the establishment of more universities.
Then there was the plague, known as the ‘Black Death’, which killed over 25 million people, and the ‘Hundred Years War’ between England and France (which lasted for 116 years, but who’s counting?), making it all an interesting time to live and for us to reflect on.
The first part of the book covers a range of information that will aid you in your future projects including: holding your work, cleating nails, proportional replicas from manuscripts, interpretation of the extant remains, a study of chest turnkey locks, making a proportional representation of a depicted item, painting furniture, resizing plans, tool protection. The main body of the book is comprised of various 14th-century projects. The project dimensions are in both metric and Imperial/US customary units.
