In to battle with Sir John Saville's Household and the Medieval Free Company in Leominster.

Today saw the grounds of the Leominster Priory turned into a warzone by members of Sir John Saville's Household and the Medieval Free Company of Re-enactors. The Sir John Saville's Household portray a medieval household from the period 1450-1500 while The Medieval Free Company is a 15th century living history group set in the year 1471, portraying everyday life at the time of the Wars of the Roses. Today they played the parts of  Yorkists attacking Lancastrian King's soldiers of Owen Tudor supporting King Henry VI. Unless captioned otherwise images below depict Sir John Saville's Household.
