The Year 1475

A flash back to the year we never thought we could never survive..

The Medieval Times of 1475, this special event, Landshuter Hochzeit (The Landshut Wedding) commorates the wedding between Hedwig, the Polish King's daughter, and Georg, the son of the Duke of Landshut. The grand paegent is revived every four years with real life role plays of the late middle ages.

The event starts of on a Saturday night. Due to the bad storm, we were drenched in the rain. On Sunday afternoon, a Hochzeitszug is held in the Altstadt. Its a wedding parade which is participated by all people of all walks of life in the ancient times. Its an event I felt so fortunate to watch.

Here we have ..
The Joker riding his (pity little) donkey

the Upper class Ministers and their people I think these we the group of Hunters. The were holding wild owls. Medieval Soldiers and Knights
Young Maidens
The Bishop waving to the Nuns at the convent
Religious Priests

The Royalty

The Highlight of the day, The Newly (ancient) Wedded Prince and Princess

Not forgetting the poor unfortunate people. They didn't have shoes nor horses.

There's more pictures will I'll upload in FB.

For now, it's reality time so im back in the 20th century.
