A wedding in the courtyard
What was a medieval wedding and an aristocratic marriage—complete with ceremony and banquet—like in the early 15th century? Immerse yourself in history alongside the Rattenschwanz banner, composed of pikemen—who formed the backbone of the League’s armies—halberdiers, archers, and their entourage: the families of soldiers, artisans, merchants, and others who had their own reasons for following the soldiers into battle.
