Sunday, 24th of October 2010. Large scale reënactment of the Slag om Grolle (The Battle for Grolle) that took place in 1627, when the Dutch Republic army with English mercenaries sieged and conquered the city of Grol (now Groenlo) from the Spanish. More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Groenlo_%281627%29
This year the event included some 970 reënactors from all over Europe. Pretty big battle I tell ya!
I shot some neat footage with my girlfriend's Sony HX-1 camera.
In the heat of battle. Make sure you catch that one armoured dude fighting 3 others.
I apologize for the annoying lady jabbering on and on to her daughter in the background.
