Bill block at LincolnWelcome to Buckingham's Retinue, one of the more authentic medieval re-enactment groups for the period 1450-1500. Our society is a non profit orgainsation that exists to reconstruct and re-enact late medieval and early tudor life, recreating the period known as 'The Wars of the Roses'.

If you are interested in taking up tudor or medieval re-enactment as a hobby, check out our Recruitment section to see the kinds of things we do and how you can take part. If you want to see us in action, here is Buckingham's Retinues  Events List for 2016.

 

If you own or manage a historical site and want to know how Buckingham's Retinue could bring it to life, please read our Employers' section.

 

We also have a wide variety of information about medieval life, from histories of the wars of the roses, guides on clothing, songs, weaponry information, as well as a history of the Stafford Family, who were the first Dukes of Buckingham.


Please feel free to contact us.

Our very own Kyle Glover took part in George Lamb's light hearted podcast from Radio Wolfgang "Medium Brown" series - Episode 91 "War of the Roses". The episode featured historian Dan Jones and currator of the Wallace Collection Tobias Capwell. This is now availabe on iTunes or direct from http://theofficialgeorgelambpodcast.podtree.com/.
 
This is the first of two occasions that Buckinghams Retinue wil be sharing the air waves with Dan Jones in the next few weeks, keep an eye out for  "Henry VIII and His Six Wives" on Channel 5.

The final medieval re-enactment activity of 2015 for Buckingham’s Retinue took place this weekend in a muddy (practically bog like) field in Lancashire, as we took part in filming for a Channel 5 production that is expected to be shown in 2016. Many thanks to the people who dragged themselves out of bed before 5am and were in armour, makeup (added blood, mud and gore) and watching the dawn break at 6:30. It actually a really good (and good natured) fight, even people kept shouting “cut, back to position 1”. Rory who had more fake blood applied that anyone else looked gruesome, and in Halloween spirit kept the makeup on to travel home. He also took a starring role towards the end of the shoot, but as I cannot disclose too much else yet, you will have to wait and watch when it airs to find out more.
