The Wars of The Roses Federation    

Lord Burgh’s Retinue is just one of many member groups who belong to the Federation.  The ‘Fed’, as it is usually known, was formed to bring like minded groups and societies together to stage large scale re-enactments, across the UK.

The Federation has a Committee of hard working volunteers who come from a cross section of the member groups, and it is these stalwarts who secure events for everyone, plan and organise them, and, finally, see them through to the end, acting as co-ordinators and working closely with the venue management to ensure an event goes off like clock-work.

Like the much better known civil war ‘umbrella’ organisations, the Sealed Knot and English Civil Wars Society, the Federation represents its period and promotes the late medieval period, encouraging research into all aspects of medieval life and keeping England’s vivid history alive, for everyone.

The Federation have appeared at venues such as:- Bosworth, Tewkesbury, Lincoln Castle, Kirby Hall, Blore Heath, as well as arranging for member groups to put on events at smaller venues throughout the UK.  Film and TV work have also provided the Federation with employment over the years, and the Committee are always happy to discuss your requirements if you are looking for a well managed, controlled and safe large scale Wars of The Roses event.  

Member groups specialise in various aspects of the period, from its magnificent horses to the deft surgeon, and from cookery to awesome English archers, the Federation and its groups can bring any venue back to medieval life!
