Sir John & The Neville Companye

About Me

The Neville Companye
We are a medieval reenactment group that focuses on 15th century (1459-1461)England during the War of the Roses. We are based in the Augusta, Maine USA area. We portray the military unit of Sir Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick. We are a Yorkist unit.
We perform demo's of full armoured medieval combat (NOT CHOREOGRAPHED like SOMEOTHER group claiming to be fighters ..oo oo who could that be?? )and medieval camp life at ren faires, schools etc etc. We are a reenactment group !! We are available for educational programs in addition to entertainment.
We try to maintain a high level of period correctness in our armour and clothing. Many of the patterns we use are obtained from the UK from professional armourers and period textile merchants.We are open to anyone 18 yrs and up serious about the War of the Roses. No Posers please !!We are affiliated with the British Plate Armour Society in England and follow all their rules and guidelines.
