    About Me Greetings!
    I'm Ulfar, leader of the Svartland Viking group from England. I have been involved in Viking-age Early Medieval re-enactment for a number of years. In early 2006 my wife Svana and I formed the Svartland group, enlisting a number of friends. We normally base ourselves around the year 950, influenced by the events in Jorvik at that time. We do, however, go outside that time frame and can cover from around 750 to 1250 or so if we want.

    An update (at last!)

    Hi all.

    I can't believe it has been over a year since I last posted a blog entry.

    The new season is in full swing.  Two small shows already undertaken for Dudley Museum and Wednesbury Museum respectively.

    Our first training camp takes place in just over two weeks' time.  Plenty of fighting, games and drinking for two days; it'll be fun.

    Svartland is still doing well, attracting plenty of booking enquiries and also some new members.  We have had five people join in the last month, with the prospect of a few more to come.
