Company of the Wolf

The Company of the Wolf is an Australian living history group focused on combat reenactment of European Middle-Ages warfare. The group takes the form of a mercenary company set during the great warring periods of the High Middle Ages and the Late Middle Ages. Participating in themed events, the Company revives historic conflicts spanning over two centuries. Starting from about 1250 AD with the Seventh Crusade, through the Hundred Years' War, to the end of the Wars of the Roses and Bosworth Field in 1485. Members portray the varied characters that formed Western European mercenary groups of the era such as landless nobility, veteran professional campaigners, humble foot-soldiers and various camp followers.
