A HOST of historic treats are planned for this year’s #JorvikMedievalFestival (August 1-31) when an army of experts, re-enactors, and interpreters, and almost 1,000 years of history will feature at 27 venues from York’s city bars to Knaresborough Castle and Selby Abbey.
Says Sarah Maltby, director of attractions at JORVIK: ‘When most people think medieval, the immediate thought is of knights, jousting and chivalry, but in fact, that is only a part of this huge period of our history which stretched from the late 5th century up until the demise of the last Plantagenet king, Richard III, in 1485 – so that encompasses Anglo Saxons, Vikings, and Normans before you get to the 12th century concept of courtly conduct and chivalry. Few places in the country have as many colourful medieval stories as Yorkshire.’
