I have to apologize again for not posting in French. It's been a long time since I had French classes in school so please bear with me.
I'm one of seven guys and two gals that will be joining the fight with you. We all belong to the same company - Furor Normannicus - and are Germans. I guess you're already used to Germans coming over for a little invasion once in a while, so that would be nothing new - but this time, we're coming in peace.
Our company is one of the brave and the few who are basing their re-enactment work on the late 12th century. Our key interest are the Anglo-Normans and the Angevin Empire from Henry to Richard, and we have been working on that for quite a while now. Our humble beginning was in 1999, 800 years after Lionheart accidently caught some nasty crossbow bolt. Our company consists of about 20 people of all genders, some dogs and two horses. As usual, it started as a boy's gang with a key interest on swordfighting, mead-drinking and girl-watching (boys will be boys, I guess). After a few visits on the so-called Medieval Markets in Germany we thought we might want to do something really medieval for a change, and tried to work our way to historic accuracy ever since.
Our gang is pretty diverse, we have historians, teachers, journalists, physiotherapists, merchants and whatnot, not being clamped together by a stiff hierarchy, but being friends sharing the same hobby.
We've taken part in activities abroad before, but not in France, and we're really looking forward to it. Nuff said, I guess, feel free to ask, thanks for letting us take part in the game, and see you on the Battlefield!
