Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman and British Living History

Regia Anglorum - Members' Library

This section of the site contains a collection of documents useful for members whether they be policy documents, parts of the online handbook, or any of the occasional information pages we provided.

• The Code of Law (241KB)
• Regia Anglorum's Child Protection Policy (112KB)
• National Battlefield and Training Policy (477KB)
  [A draft copy of the updated policy can be found here (68KB).]
