The Sealed Knot (reenactment)

The Sealed Knot society is a British historical association dedicated to period costume re-enactment of battles and events surrounding the English Civil War. It takes its name from the original Sealed Knot, a secret association aimed at the restoration of the monarchy. It strives for as much historical accuracy as is practicable, to the extent that members' wives and children are drafted in as "camp followers". Research into the history of the Civil War is a major secondary activity of the association.

The Sealed Knot society is a registered charity, No.263004, with its own coat-of-arms. It is the largest re-enactment society in Europe and was formed by the late Brigadier Peter Young, a respected military historian and World War II veteran, from a small group of friends at a party portraying Royalists. Within a few months it had 200 members and today has a membership of several thousand.
