Who are we?Corvus Cohort: Mercenaries of the 1500's... exactly what it sounds like! In a world where warfare in this era is thought to be full of armored knights and unregulated swordsmen charging at each other, Corvus Cohort steps up to educate and entertain!
At events such as Renaissance Faires and reenactments, Corvus Cohort shows the history of the 1500's through the developments in military life and culture. Our pike and musket drill show the Renaissance mindset focusing on organization and order, with the rise to power of the middle-class and the beginnings of modern humanist ideals of exploration and equality. We follow the philosophy of "Edutainment," combining education and entertainment, being able to teach and inform in a fun and inspiring way! |
Are we reenactors?
In a sense yes, but also no. We prefer to call ourselves Historical Educators, and we love to share our knowledge and passion for history with others! We work to reenact camp life and historic life at reenactments. However, unlike reenactments, our focus shifts from a 100% authentic impression in order to focus more on interaction and education. We focus on larger historical themes in order to showcase changes across time and across nationalities. |
