An interfraternity project of the Hanza Foundation and friends, created on the foundation of "Clash of the Dukes" (2016, one of the first historical fiction events in Poland, sometimes called historical LARPs), aimed at recreating the court of Duke Janusz I and Duchess Danuta Anna.
The group includes people who at the "Clash..." were courtiers, servants or own men-at-arms of the noble couple, or those for whom there will always be a place at the duke's table, if not in this role (e.g. Prince Witold), then in another – in short, the immediate (and not necessarily numerous) noble circle.
The main undertaking of the "project" are the next editions of "Clash..." (from 2021 under the name Terra Jagiellonica), however, we also plan to organize smaller and more frequent events related to the court of Duke Janusz and participate in other events of a similar nature (e.g. Fixuralis Custellus) – the functioning of the group is to help in their organization and coordination.
The dating of the project is quite broad due to the years of the greatest activity of the noble couple: 1374 – 1415.
As a professionally recreated and prepared duke's court, we also take part in events prepared by cities, e.g. to commemorate the granting of city rights by Duke Janusz I the Elder.
Examples of events in which we took part:
- historical fiction events: "Clash of the Princes" at the Castle in Czersk, "Terra Jagiellonica" at Lake Hańcza, "Fixuralis Custellus" at the Castle in Grodziec
- late medieval historical events: "Ruthenica Medievalis" at the Castle in Kamieniec Podolski, "Meetings with history" at the Castle in Ciechanów
- special events: 600th anniversary of granting city rights to Łomża, Reenactment of granting city rights to Ostrów Mazowiecka, 600th anniversary of granting city rights to Nowe Miasto, 600th anniversary of granting city rights to Zakroczym
