Founded in 1997, the Ordo Ignis is a historic society whose main purpose is to study Medieval Norway and Norwegian knights. In the Middle Ages, ties between Norway and Europe were strong. A popular destination for pilgrims, the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim was an established centre for international contact.
Historical characters and setting spanning from 1030 to 1550 are recreated by members of the order. Apart from the knights, subdivisions of the Ordo Ignis include the Craftsmen's Guild and the Ladies' League. The guilds study and recreate Medieval crafts, arts, codes of behaviour and mentality. Tournaments and banquets are held on a regular basis.
To authenticate the results of our studies, we engage in an ongoing co-operation with scholars in various academic fields. The knowledge we have achieved is presented to the general public through publications or activities, such as display battles, performances, exhibitions, work-shops and public lectures.
