Laurentius Guild
Hi Firsteleventh. Thanks for starting the interresting article on Laurentius Guild. I have tried to provide a few more references as the article has been criticized for lack of notability. You said in your addition to the article on Aarhus that it was one of Denmark's leading organizations in the field but I have not been able to find any third party assessments of its role and there do not seem to be any articles on the other organizations in the field, even in Danish (e.g. Glima, Københavns Historiske Fægteklub.) I am not sure either whether the group is mainly related to the field of education, culture or sports. Are there in fact any sporting competitions (quid Copenhagen Open 2014?) in which the group takes part and if so where are they reported?--Ipigott (talk) 18:38, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
I'll do some more digging. I'm not a member, but was with Schola Gladiatoria in UK - a similar sort of organisation. As an activity, I think that HEMA sits somewhere between a sport, experimental archaeology, and living history - so it's not so easy to pin down. --Firsteleventh (talk) 11:35, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
