The College of Saint Dionysius

Arms of the College The College of Saint Dionysius

Welcome to the official webstead for the College of Saint Dionysius, aka the Auckland University Medieval Guild. We are a group of friends based in Auckland, New Zealand who enjoy learning about and participating in all things medieval, including dancing, singing, feasting, brewing, smithing and fighting, both Italian Renaissance fencing and heavy armoured combat. We attempt to recreate as much of the military, social and cultural aspects of the years 600 to 1600 as we can, while avoiding the less tasteful bits like the Black Plague!

We are affiliated with the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), and have received a great deal of assistance from the lovely lords and ladies of the Auckland chapter of the SCA, known as the Barony of Ildhafn, which is in turn based in the Kingdom of Lochac, covering all of Australia and New Zealand. Check out their websites by clicking their corresponding links.
