Where the oposing armies take up their positions. Now the morning siege takes place. The siege is an impressing spectacle with more than 150 participants, medieval soldiers from different european countries, men and women. They all have fantastic clothing and armours, very well made and is worth taking a real close up look at. The battle goes on with roaring canons shooting grass beeing stuffed into the mouthpieces, good enough, often even catching fire.
Canon fire is shot both from the castle and from the opposing field.
There are even musketeers shooting, and you have to keep your mouth wideopen and protect your ears. Bowmen on both sides are almost constantly shooting arrow rains over the combattants. And the different troops go into close up struggles with lanses, halberts, axes, swords and sticks, and all other nice medieval bonecrashing wartools. This goes on for at least a good hour. And this year the siege was supported by an incredibly bright and hot sun making life and death coming down hard on the combattants.
