Organisation

The group Recriar Historia is associated with the Órdem da Cavalaria do Sagrado Portugal, Cooperativa Cultural, CRL, and has the objective to make it possible for any person, meeting the necessary requirements, to participate in diverse activities of multi-period historical recreation.

One should be aware that the organisation's code of conduct is intimately linked to the rules of Medieval Knighthood, which inform the principles and objectives of the Órdem da Cavalria do Sagrado Portugal and its associated groups in order to serve society.

The Group Coordinators reserve the right to admit or refuse any candidate.

Upon being admitted, a candidate receives the status of "Collaborator", in which one may remain for about a year until, depending on one's level of activity, one can be promoted to "Member" (if one expresses interest and is more than 14 years old, for all Sections).
