HOUSE VON DRAKEN
NESTLED IN THE ROLLING HILLSIDES OF SOUTH EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA THERE IS A SMALL DUCHY CALLED HOUSE VON DRAKEN
Founded over 12 years ago, House Von Draken is one of The North Penn Chapters of Markland Medeival Mercenary Militia/ Markland LTD. a non-profit educational organization centered from Maryland,
Markland was founded at the Unniversity of Maryland over 40 years ago and is recognized as a non-profit organization.
Marklands membership stretches the North-East coast and down into the Carolinas.
House Von Draken was the first Group form in this area in 1994, and we have had several splinter groups set out with ongoing sucess in the area.
Markland started as Vikings, centred around the Battle of Hastings, 1066, and Marklands' "Flagship event" was and still is "The Battle of Hastings" generally held in Maryland.
House Von Draken has had several events in this area & we travel north, south, east & west to participate in events, both public & private, with other Markland groups, as well as the SCA: another much larger re-enactment group, in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland & Delaware.
We centre ourselves in the general area doing demonstrations for local organizations & schools
