Order of the Boar
Description
The Order of the Boar is a medieval re-enactment group based near Upper Hutt, New Zealand. We recreate aspects of the medieval tournament along with related living history activities from the second half of the 14th century (1350 - 1400 AD).
We are organised along historical lines as a small retinue of mounted men-at-arms, infantry, family and servants at a tournament. This is portrayed in a living history setting which includes period tents, camp furniture and other equipment.
We are also the regional representative for the International Jousting Association which was originally formed in England in 1987. The IJA sanctions our jousting competitions and issues grading certificates for our members. Our members compete regularly in both tournaments in New Zealand and in off-shore tournaments.
